I have made mistakes in the past that have cost me immense financial loss at the expense of my naievity.

After being fairly successful with stock investing, my portfolio is at the point whereby I experience "huge" losses (and gains) do to the volitility of the market.

I plan to network to find a lender in my area who will sit down with me and discuss the items you shared with me.

@Devin Mann give them an Item of Value.

While he lived there, it was fine - he could afford to pay the $1000 difference + repairs + vacancy loss, etc.

In general, do landlords of single-family homes pre-emptively make major repairs as items get close to the end of their expected life?

The brokerage gets constant notices for non compliance from your real estate commission ( IRS bank levies on agents commissions checks for back taxes, license suspension for student loan delinquencies, suspension for back child support owed, loss of license for not paying renewal fees, inactive license  for not completing CE credits on time, etc.)3.

This caused me a loss of about $10,000.I am a highly religious man that tries to operate honestly and fairly in all interaction (I am human and do make mistakes).

Matt another item overlooked in insurance on the building.

Buy well rehabbed properties where capital expenses will not be incurred during the first several years and pay attention to the little things as those are the items that kills your cash flow.
