Best case is that they just upgraded it and plan on leaving it...... if so, get that in writing.......but still be pissed and let them know this will not be tolerated again.So I would want some more info before I freak out too bad....If they are basically blowing you off and ignoring you, then I would move forward with legal action by consulting a lawyer about moving forward with an eviction...and be sure to include the cost of a new stove in the deposit

I am from the upstate and I would like to make a positive impact on the local area one rental property at a time. 

Continue to invest and if and when the market falls then you will be in a good position and have some great opportunities to score discounted real estate at bargain prices from people who didn’t prepare .

There's only so much information you can take and you really learn by putting that information and knowledge into ACTION!

If you put 20% down ($20k) and financed the rest ($80k), at 5% for 30 years (Total Interest = $74.6k), if you go the full term, the TOTAL cost to buy your home would be = $174,604.63However, if you buy a home to rent, and you have positive cash flow (this is important), and like above put the same DP of $20k down, with the same interest rate, term, etc..., the TOTAL cost of the this home to you would be = $20,000.Why? 

Just wondering what I can do to get him to take action.

The IRS has just issued updated guidance on OZ's including the draft self-certification form (Form 8996).From a quick high level glance at the newly issued 74 page draft regulations it does appear that only capital gains will qualify (which confirms the position our team held) Our real estate team will be diving into this over the weekend and next week in more detail.

Building my network and scouting properties is my first course of action, and what better place to do that than Bigger Pockets? 

Aside from that you will need vey deep pockets to be able to build the infrastructure and carry the property for a decade before you see any positive returns.

If you can achieve positive cash flow with 100% financing that is you max ROI possible.
