While the absolute value may not be high - I have a rehabbed duplex (can you say practically $0 repairs/maintenance/CapEx for the next 10-15 years since I rehabbed when I bought it?)

You should have resolved the lock issue during the turnover rental prep.Secondly, did the locksmith identify exactly what the issue was?

I was wondering what your experience has been, good or bad with buying rental property in close proximity to the firehouse/station?

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

The seller gets paid in full . 

I decided to end the tenancy of one of the tenants. 

For me its next to impossible the search function I cant seem to get it work or its just not very good.. like trying to find a member if you cant remember how to spell the name exactly it wont come up for me I used to how my computer works.. just start typing in a name and it finds the email even if its not spell correctly.  

house hacking is great start, that's how i started in the business. would love to connect

When flipping, the most important thing is understanding the available loan programs for potential buyers.

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.
