If I get exhausted from that, I'll pivot. couple issues with the Oregon coast..

Each city has its own laundry list of licensing requirements, but they have not had the power to limit the number of rentals or make other market-limiting moves.This issue is likely to come up again.

Wish I had more luck with the manager companies.I just don't want to keep using cash to fix- cover any issues that come up now.  

This pain is going to be either in you labor, legal fights, tenant issues, but most likely a combination of all of them.

I think the expected maintenance issues (plumbing, HVAC, and the like) really ate into cash flow that I developed over time and has kept me at a plateau-like position.

Some people with cash to throw around don't look so diligently and run into cash flow issues.3: Life style: We decided to downscale our lifestyle and even do away with our cars for a short while.

the issue right now is that with both prices and rates high, it is very, very tough to have cash flow unless you're employing some kind of creative and/or hands-on and/or value-add strategy, or combination of strategies. 

Your worst reasons for someone selling is because the property has serious issues that they don't want to fix.

Who was the Form 1098 issued to?  

@Wes Glass nothing you can do unless pet causes issues for other tenants.
