thanks again j scott. u rock!

cool i'm in a similar boat albeit here on the west coast. hopefully its not under ur own roof u come home to as thats when its at its worsts - 24/7 and obviously not worth it once they default AND/OR breach. tenants too often dont seem to realize not paying and/or not keeping any unlawful (ie, prohibited) activity at bay IS as serious as if the landlord were to suddenly, permanently shut off the water/electric/gas etc or lift the ceiling off their rental.

It's worse when u have tenants in the unit and are coordinating showings out of state.  

if u neglect just 1 lender, eventually you'll be forced to give something up.  

the rule of thumb is -  until u find one that fits your criteria. 

Time heals all wounds (and deals) 

As well as I wound up in higher end RE, which is just frankly more expensive to flip, which frankly demotivated me for a bit.

If he is blowing you off because your a smaller client then get rid of him as well as he will not treat u better moving forward and might look at a smaller acct with lack of attention.

@Ceasar Blackman I wanted to get opinions on what u and I were talking about from BP, So......I wonder if the $725 rent is a realistic number for pine hills...if so...If someone got into this property for 25k, put 10k in it....now your ARV is 35k.The total yearly income for the rent is $8700 based on that rental rate of $725.Now figure a 25% vacancy rate to be safe and you're at $6,525 a year.Minus $1,000 (insurance and tax estimate) ur at $5,525.Now calculate the ROI by taking the yearly income from the investment $5,525, divide by total cost of house $35,000 you get 0.1578571428571429 - move that decimal over 2 spots to convert to % and ur looking at 15.7% ROI.That's a pretty good return, I was told average is 8-10 %.
