To add though, just make sure you get the most education out of the "tuition" you just paid, and you do this by both learning to recover from the situation (in case it happens again) and more importantly asking yourself where things went wrong and what you could've done differently (to avoid having this happen again) ... possible answers to that question include:Investing in a better neighborhood that attracts higher quality tenants.Better tenant screening.
