@Emilio Garibaldi JrI would talk to her and give her some options :1 - She can continue with the property maintenance as agreed upon 2- You can call a mowing service for her and she can pay for it 3 - You can pay for the maintenance and increase her rentLet her pick what works best for her but either way your lawn needs to be done .

At this point, I would pass on this investment unless if you have a way of forcing appreciation (increase the value of the home) and therefore increasing rent.I hope this helps!

Homes priced below $300,000 in the Valley are selling fast now, often on the first day they are listed if the house is in good shape and in a popular neighborhood.But agents have to work harder because of the growing competition.A buyer looking to pay $300,000 or less may get outbid or lose out to other buyers who make offers faster.

Also, the area is in rural Georgia, but there's been +30% population increase since 2010.

It should increase the value enough where most of my original investment can be pulled back out.

They will need to become more stable and as easy to use as a credit card, then we will see their use greatly increase.

You can also add your own cash to the purchases and that would actually increase your equity.The strategy above of selling and 1031ing into multiple properties with some of the purchases paid for in cash and some with maximum leverage is a great late market strategy that lets you protect some properties from debt risk while still letting you aggressively use leverage on others.  

With their Prime Freight Hub being at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport I see the potential for HQ2 to be increasingly favoring Columbus or Indianapolis.

Decatur is also very popular.

We will increase our umbrella after this new property.
