I had a 1000 reasons not to buy a property.1.

Jai Koolwal - that zip code isn't all bad, but I would want to see the actual address to give you a better idea.

Rather than a vague text, I would feel better having her sign an actual notice specifying her exit.If the boyfriend is an issue, that has to be tackled immediately.

The reason many do not buy is fear and lack of knowledge, 

To you folks that are paying gurus to learn lending, make sure 1) they actually have a formal credit/lending background and 2) make sure they went through at least the last major crash of 2007-2009 and lived to tell about it.

Several reasons but the Quick Books is a big one. 

I am assuming that you do not have someone that is local with a key that can enter on your behalf...On another note, you have reason to believe that the tenant may need a safety check.

The reason many beginners don't do an LLC is because they don't have the down payment necessary.

(and with no late fee until July 16th) The reason for this is that mortgages are paid in arrears (except for the month closing which I will explain below).

If you have 500k in equity, not sure what the actual equity is: would you rather - repurchase your current property and assume and 2.6% rate ORfind some other investment that is made with the intention of being an investmentYou said the house is large and new - so current chances that you need major CAPEX is low but as this home ages and is in an expensive market realize that those updates will also be expensive.
