@Yaakov S. doubt these tenants have high credit scores, so you're probably dealing with Class C tenants with under 620 FICO scores.THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR THEM!

I currently own 1 rental property with no mortgage and am looking to learn how to get my second deal. 

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

The house is unlivable, and now I’m dealing with the headache of insurance claims, finding contractors, and ensuring my tenants have a place to stay.

And perhaps partner deals with!

If you can't find a profitable deal to do, the differential between two non-deals is inconsequential.

Could also be that buyers are finding better deals in the same neighborhood. 

This is can provide investors with more flexibility in cash flow, allowing potential investment in multiple deals at once.

Despite feeling late to the game, I'm committed to learning and aiming for my first deal in 90 days.

Work with a real estate agent, analyze potential deals, network with local investors, and expand your portfolio.
