The owner lived there and we eventually came to an agreement.

You’re saving money by not paying off someone else’s mortgage, and sounds like you’ll be collecting from your once occupied space eventually.

“Buyers are not just paying more for the same home; the mix of homes in the market is rapidly changing.”This is country-wide, but just imagine the rate it's happening at in Atlanta given the development, corporate success, announcements, cost of living, world class status, etc https://atlantaagentmagazine.com/2018/04/11/home-p...

I spoke to the developer and explained it was just a smart financial decision as I wanted to use that money to acquire additional property.

I am looking for a developer to work with to build a new single family home in Voorhese, Moorestown, Cherry Hill, NJ area.

Hit it consistently, develop a brand & the money will roll in.

Through listening to the podcasts and other education resources, I have been developing a passion for real estate investing.

It seems as though you have developed a great strategy of handling these types of tenants, but with this being our first rental property (and me being a 5'1 female against these two), there's no way I could chance my safety. 

Eventually, IF they give up on their efforts to sell FSBO, they will call YOU because you were so helpful, and not just nagging them for their listing. 

I'm really sure I did everything wrong, I was not knowledgeable nor was I thinking about it as a business, but somehow I enjoyed myself so much I'm now considering getting into real estate investing.My goal is to have passive income (I work freelance so I will eventually need it), as well as income for retirement.
