May be worth posting in the BP classifieds for specifically what you're looking for!

I understand it hurts to provide bad tenants money, however it will resolve the problem quicker and remove this frustration from your life, which I'm sure is worth a couple thousand dollars. 

It might cost you a few dollars, but may be worth preventing a headache later.I was in a house just today that had what was most likely an unpermitted renovation done many years ago.

While it can be tempting to jump right in, the best thing you can do is build up an emergency fund FIRST and then start working towards securing a property.I do this by working two jobs, may not be the most exciting thing to hear but hustling for a few years to achieve financial freedom in the future is worth it.

Hi Adam,I've always been a real estate guy but exposed my personal portfolio quite heavily to a regional bank ETF.I guess time will tell if I'll be a "Hero" or "Zero" lolCome on you Fed and reduce those rates 😁Real estate is and always will be my bread and butter tho.You can't beat the safety of a "brick and mortar" investment per se.My best advice would be if you are going to go down the path of investing in out of state rentals to have a growth mindset.Buying 1 or 2 isn't worth the risk or hassle and you might as well invest in your own back yard.10+ years in the industry and my most unsatisfied investors are the one's that build smaller portfolio's.If a property goes vacant and takes a few months to get it back performing, with a small portfolio that could impact cashflow of 30-50% for that year.Our investors that own 7,8 or 10+ properties, don't even feel it if 1 or 2 go vacant.Just my opinion and wishing you much success

But from a design perspective it looks much better and if you get more bookings from that fact alone, dressers are worth it! 

It’s now 5 years hence and the $375k house is worth $550k.

Worth a discussion with you though. 

The Condo base on the last Title Study done in March 2019 is worth 150k the title is clean (it means it does not own any money) but because of the situation can get the private banks open a line of credit. 

If they refuse to give you a credit, it's up to you to decide if it's still worth it to proceed or walk away.
