I've even seen new construction falling apart and rotting because of poor installment. 

@Ryan Lemelin what you hear from nurses is that California contract are drying up but it is cyclical. 

It is important for cities to keep on top of deteriorating areas or it becomes a cancer that rots the city from the inside out.

I would rather have a tenant who complains about a tiny scratch than a tenant who doesn't care if all the windows are busted out and water pipes are leaking and rotting the wood floors.As a landlord, you should try to realize that many tenants rent because they don't want to have to worry about maintenance.

The main issue with private money is that the source tends to dry up unless you find a lender with a substantial amount of liquid cash.  

If it's 7% on a $100,000 loan, and that property's been appreciating and cash-flowing, you might find it's better to own the property.Rates are very low now, so it would almost make some sense to hang on to some dry powder. 

But always have enough money available to get through any dry times.

Buyers are where it is drying up.

Could have been 170+ night is could have back to 2 weeks drying and wall repair.Now looking for a 2nd unit in Indian point and other Branson area.

I will be renting out a room, probably AirBnBing the other room, as well as putting some of the property locations up for HipCamp and putting money into transitioning some of the outbuildings into tiny home dry cabins with compostable toilets to be able to rent them out and use the profits to save up to install actual plumbing down the road.
