Otherwise you risk getting burned.

One of the carry-over tenants was not paying rent, so we learned real fats how to deal with eviction process, small claims, changing locks, etc.

Honestly I'm burned out with day-to-day BS of property management and will soon be transitioning this to a professional property management company so I can focus on acquiring other properties.

Next day accountant "had a small fire in his office"  that seems to have burned up only the records for that association.   

Ive been in real estate long enough now to feel the burn of past advice thats hurt clients and it stinks.

Is it even an investment or just burning cash?

@Scot Burns thank you.

The one time I did it was the one guy that burned me. 

I have money burning a whole in my pocket, and I can't find a single wholesaler who has deals anywhere close the right price.

It burned down over a year ago and the pile of what used to be a house is still just sitting there, a few yards away.
