Hello everyone, Yes, it's a massive problem for rental property owners.

It could be a profitable investment or a dud for next few years.The poll below supporting LEGALIZING marijuana is massive.

I do agree, and I hate that I am saying this, that you have be massively careful with mentors.REALLY do research on them.

I was also up in Portland about 9 months ago and I demonstrated real-time in front of a large group how to find massive amounts of off-market deals.. so I would not put any credibility to @JayHinrichs statement.

I don't like the idea of people being able to air their dirty laundry on the site because it is subject to massive abuse.

Finished a massive remodel on my house and Bought another rental almost two years ago and did some things wrong (including having a tenant that was running a 3 million dollar real estate scam that got hooked on heroin when the feds caught him lol) but I've learned a ton from it and am ready to get things rolling and start buying properties. 

I know most will recommend to stay the course, but this condo has become a massive burden.I'm not sure about renting the place out, because I don't think the monthly rental would cover the mortgage plus the condo fees (which, together with taxes and PMI totals about $1050).

And like Warren Buffet said above it does not happen often but low levels of debt and free and clear is the ultimate in safety. so really depends .Age is a big one too.. do you have the time to make it back.. 

A good provider will be upfront about the fact that all properties will need some major repair or replacement at some point down the line - even investing in a brand new build only delays the inevitable - so having back-up funds available to handle that is important.However, these massive red flags should disqualify a turnkey company long before investment if due diligence is done properly.

For me personally, I knew that scaling to financial freedom would take massive sacrifice.
