With her double ending the deal she certainly does not have your interests in mind, she has hers first and seems desperate to make a buck.

Since then I've been receiving unemployment benefits and looking for my next job.When employed I normally make around 100k doing database and software engineering.My rental home has been a godsend during covid as it is cashflowing almost enough to cover my rent here.So far my tenants have not brought up any finanal troubles due to covid.They are mature and skilled, and most likely are working from home.With the addition of the unemployment benefits and my already mininalistic/frugal lifestyle, my bank balance has been depleting but not too quickly.It seems clear that my first priority needs to be getting employed, but there's only so much job hunting that can be done in a day and I'm not really sure what's going on in tech hiring right now - one recruiter signaled that companies are not really hiring much yet.I've been taking this opportunity to learn and plan so that I can be ready to purchase my next rental property when the opportunity is right.

How do I decide where the line is between being conservative with my cashflow and spending a couple hundred bucks to make my property more desirable?

Loan is $30,000 at 8% with interest only payments of 250.94 until maturity, Only 4 payments were made and its been in default for years [please no discussion of statute of limitation please]. 

I went Section 8 with all well vetted tenants which is about 50 bucks under market with no utilities so I'm super happy.

We installed an interior drain system for a few thousand bucks and will monitor as time goes on. 

They probably have plenty of contracts already available and it should be a few hundred bucks or so.

So you save fifty bucks and have a bad back when you are 60 years old, no thanks... 

I'd cancel if you can and save yourself a couple hundred bucks. 

Thats about 400 500 bucks.
