Any insights, tips, or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.Thank you all for your time and support.

Buy 4 more properties - one approximately every 3 months, based on the following logic = always fill existing property with a tenant prior to moving on (I'm new, and this is my way of managing risk); build resources to purchase next property (I have pretty decent purchasing power right now through conventional lending with my current job, and I also have a private lender ready to loan on my next property, and I also get a quarterly commission check that provides a nice financial bump every 3 months); finding a property takes time, but it is worth it to find the right property in the neighborhoods I want to invest in, at the right price.

However, typically, property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property and the applicable tax rate.In your example, it seems you're referring to the timing of payments rather than the calculation of the tax itself.

The con here is evaluating the sydicator, checking their due diligence and financials are correct and conservative, and then making sure no games are being played. over the past few years, many folks including myself have found themselves victim to overly aggressive syndications where the operators were reckless with investor funds. 

I think the couple are playing games with me and will pay May's  as close to the end of the 30 days as possible and they basically will owe me again for another month for June.  

I understand it is a difficult market at the moment (High interest, High prices, etc), and I have no problem playing the waiting game.

i would imagine you could get away with a little less in your area based on facts rents are higher. 

Based on the data you provided, it's indeed not easy to achieve positive cash flow.

It's a numbers game and the more shots you take, the higher liklihood you will find something that makes sense. 

If you move away from that road and come closer to base or near the hospital, those would be great areas to rent in.
