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.

I wouldn't be able to enforce this in court though, so it's more of an ideal threat. 

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. 

I know it's not ideal to start in this situation but in all honesty to some extent everyone in this industry does it. 

I want to get my hands dirty on this first one.... and ideally double-up every 18-24 months.

@Chris MacDonald  I am not a CPA but I am and have been a real estate professional for tax purposes for 40 plus years.. so I write every single trip off.. as I am always looking at new deals.when I was in Thailand last week I met with a condo developer who was offering 7% guaranteed rental returns.. on his condos went on a tour got the brochures and am considering that investment.. so that is a business trip. 

Even areas I likely won't work in anytime soon (large commercial developments, for example) still spike my interest.
