Maybe the same thing could happen to SI, not counting on it but just a thought and a nice bonus.

Auction home on steps of the courthouse, came fresh with all the issues, and even included the previous owner still living there for a bonus LOL

I’m looking to buy and hold a property that cash flows well with appreciation being a bonus if it occurs.

(Bonus question, can I cold call cash buyers or only send them letters?) 

I provided a swing set that a resident or one of their friends got hurt on because it was old and something broke.So my question is should I replace it as a nice bonus to families with children or totally remove it because it is a liability I should try and eliminate?

You can earn additional money from pay raises, bonuses, taking a part-time job, etc.This is probably one of the safest ways to invest.

I have money parked in a Discover online savings account. 1.5% with a $200 bonus for having more than $25k in the account.

Tack onto that a low level bonus, usually $2000-5000 I will have at that time as well to get me going in the right direction.

As a bonus, even after all the court dates and the judge ruling in your favor, they give the tenant several weeks to move out.

Go in with any higher, and they just look at that as a nice bonus cushion for you.Then, when I went to buy my next rental, I had about $45k in cash, and the place I was buying was only $40k, so I could have bought it outright.
