Since all my other houses have them (didn't realize that initially) and they're using all $300 of the tenant's deposit toward the get ready (and my total out of pocket cost is now only $2,199), I decided to give the green light to go ahead with everything.

I realize all options are not horrible.  

I realize everyone has different goals... but I would appreciate some different perspectives in thinking about this. 

I realize they wouldn't be as profitable, but if it allowed you to stop the bleeding, make a little bit of profit, and hold onto the property, perhaps it could still work?

Funding my business so I never realized the profit from my job, nor I consumed it, it was invested.

I am not new to investing in general - I have a passion for stock/stock options trading, but I have always loved real estate and now have caught the bug to make it a reality.I am in the Boston, MA area, and realize the market is very expensive.

Only looking back do you realize how bad it could’ve gone.

With the immediate impacts of the pandemic, that realization immediately vanished. 

In my experience, a lot of commercial investors will defend an investing strategy if it is something that made them wealthy with not realizing that trends change slowly over time.
