Are they likely to get more hours or are they looking for another job?

The investor also had no backup plan, and it was clear they hadn’t considered the potential risk if this failed - they just said "we would foreclose" - which if they did would (at best) provide single digit return...It gets even better, if they did get the borrower to follow their exit strategy, they would make around 13%...Here’s the problem: The gurus often make note investing sound like it’s just a game of persuasion, telling you it’s "easy" to get borrowers to agree to anything if you push the right buttons.

Quote from @Melissa Crimp: It helps if you learn to run it like a business instead of letting your emotions get in the way.

Likely would move it to weekly, if you can pump it entirely out of the basement then it's handled indefinitely (you just need to check on the bilge pumps). 

It might be a bit risky as a first-time investor, so I’d recommend this option only if you have a clear exit strategy, like refinancing or selling the property within a year.4.

I like the Bakerson website.

From what I was reading about refinancing requirements - seems like some of them require the property to be managed by a management company. 

I am going to paste what the listing agent posted as a remark in her listing, and then I would like to read your comments: Duplex with an EXCELLENT rental history!
