I spent the summer guiding fly fishing out of a remote camp in Alaska, which forced me to become a landlord (had to rent my house out) and the light finally went on.

It's kinda driving me nuts, because I feel like I am doing the math right, until I get to the end . . .

I am making too much of this but it drives me nuts not to know. 

I believe it is a flat tax of $15 for all new bikes purchased, adult size I think.I drive uber for a while in Portland, bike riders were my biggest fear, they are nuts.

I had a house, drivers license, hunting/fishing license, paid utilities, property taxes, yet they still would not allow me to pay in state tuition.

better to miss a "good deal" than to get into a bad one.Set your criteria and stick to it.If you are looking for 12% ROI, and this deal doesn't have it, walk away.If you spend months never finding any that meet your criteria than maybe your ROI is too high or your numbers for repairs are too high or you need to fish another pond (like not listed properties).

Finally I served her a thirty day notice, she went nuts.

Let's focus on creating a cash flow asset instead of a for sale productYou're a tough nut ... we presently sell tenants storage boxes:but I suppose I could try to rent them ;-)

Just remember, it would have been very easy for them to say, "OK", renew the lease, renew it again when it comes up in the spring/summer, and then just bail on you next October.By trying to work a solution a year in advance, they are, if not doing you a favor exactly, doing better by you than they could have.ME: *WHACK* (Kick you as hard as I can in the nuts)You: *Gasping for air*ME: You should be thanking me, I could have stabbed you.Again on a practical level you are correct that they could have screwed her over even more, but I can't get over how you condone and almost seem to admire these people's behavior.Yes they could be worse but that doesn't mean they aren't jerks that are knowingly trying to screw her over.  

Three years ago, my parents started investing and their co-workers literally thought they were nuts.
