Ultimately I'm just trying to think through how to make the most of the resources I have to start real estate investing and really secure my families financial future and I figured who better to give guidance than people who are more experienced than I am and who at some point had some of the same thoughts. :)Thanks in advance for any of the time and effort you put in responding to my questions, I sincerely appreciate it.

The ultimate goal is to retire early with enough passive income.  

Ultimate sale of the property, etc?

It makes for hard discussions especially when that situation it was ultimately the tenants fault. 

I can remember dozens of times where a slip and fall or other incident resulted in requests or threats for compensation but ultimately nothing being pursued legally.

The ultimate question with your bank is that if they will use your rental income on this property to qualify you.  

But in my opinion, a business partnership is ultimately much more fruitful.

To survive first there is absolutely on place in business for emotions (ever)  and second you need to develop very thick skin.

If you haven't read it already the Ultimate Beginner's Guide is a good book, also the webinars and YouTube channel. 

I doubt they would have any surviving explanation for the reassessment.
