It almost never ends well. 

They are so sweet, I've made a few offers recently, trying to get back into buying more!

@Samuel KsiazkieiczWho did you end up going with?

"I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

Hi Linda,Not sure if you ended up trying this or not.

Now we are past the drywall stage heading into shower and tile work and I have to go back and deal with something that I should have dealt with earlier.  

For what it's worth, my current job has a very high barrier to entry in terms of experience/licensing so I can get hired tomorrow and make the same money if I ever needed to come back.

The beauty here is that you will be able to get back your initial cash invested in the deal when you refinance.

The credit ended up being more than the repairs on both of those items put together - the water heater just needed a new board and gas valve, and the HVAC furnace needed replacement but the AC unit was just fine. 

We have a clause in the original contract saying that if they cannot get caught up on payment by the end of the 6th month, the lease agreement will be terminated.
