I spend maybe a few hours a month on my business.Otherwise, what are my biggest issues?

Also you have extended rules for replacement property when you are force to sell."

I find the teachers at the community college spend alot of time talking about their personal stuff.

2 rooms of carpet were totally ruined and had to be replaced, there was dirt and cobwebs in all of the bedrooms, windows had been left open and rainwater allowed to come in and stain the walls, hundreds of gouges and anchors left in the walls, oven dirty, floor and wall behind stove and refrigerator had a half inch of dust, dirt and food, etc, etc, etc.So, needless to say, I've had to spend a considerable amount of time and money getting the place back into rentable condition.

If you are doing buy and hold, form an LLC with your credit partner as your chief financial officer, and you have a much greater capacity to purchase on credit without over extending.

Your credit is a pretty important part of your ability to invest in real estate in the long term.Another strategy would be to spend the next year on a "Dave Ramsey" kick.

And I have to spend a lot of time figuring out what happened, because they didn't proactively notify me. 

I could spend all day telling you why my choice would have been better.

Make sure you don't spend over 30% of the value of the card so if the card is 1k don't spend over 300 on it.

You need a cheap price, enough work to do to push up the value much more than you have to spend, and then you need to get out.
