In the meantime.... find a mentor, and offer to help them with stuff, a mentor can be worth their weight in gold, and real estate is all about connections, so while it may not buy you a house, investing in a friendship with a good mentor will help you a lot down the road!

Monitoring my company's KPIs is my life.

The effect is that you have a lot of weight (maybe a couple tons) effectively sitting in the middle of the floor.

As you can see, with a tenant in the condo, the landlord is monitored constantly.

If you are too uncomfortable, then ask them to extend it for a month to give you time to monitor the situation and potential outcome are some ideas.

With the relative stability of real estate (in certain markets) and rental income providing double to triple what treasuries pay, I can see real estate taking an increasing weight in portfolios to fill the void.  

I have been monitoring the Milwaukee market and still see enough out there to warrant investments (in rental properties, not necessarily flips).But if one strategy starts not working, you just have to find another one.

Using the Discounted Cash Flow concept or Weighted Average Cost of Capital, this property made a lot of sense, therefore was a reason the investor sold.

Obviously, it only works where there is high demand - so you have to monitor for trespassing parkers.  

But to both of you, or anyone else monitoring this thread, how do you address it with the tenant when you don't give them the benefit of the doubt with a repair matter?
