Jenna I am glad you noticed this potential investment does not make any money.

My biggest fear as an investor (and father of 3), is that I'll overextend myself and end up in the same position that a lot of people were in during the crash. 

Are there 14 bathrooms and state of the art sensors running 13 different furnace control units based on users position in the house.

For a moment when we got the notice we decided to quit paying rent and save what we could to move out because at the point of the notice our landlord just disappeared no where to return our calls so the trust has been broken. 

I’m new so I don’t have any to contribute that are specific to REI, but from my other businesses.Waze + a calendar connection - easiest way to get traffic notices for departure time for your next meeting Outlook - it’s more powerful than the default iOS mail when it comes to signatures, scheduling, and managing emails Evernote - great note taking and overall brainstorming tool Dropbox - self-explanatory.

@Holly Bixler , it depends what state you're in but most states require a landlord to give their tenants a reasonable (days wise) Notice to Cure. 

There is actually one tomorrow at Bellevue college if you can swing it on such short notice.   

I would suggest figuring out how to get your personal finances cash flow positive before going all in on a rental property.

I'd say get more details on the financing, get an inspection on the property, and after you have that you will be in a better position to make a decision. 

If you have the cash position to go full time in business without a full time job maybe you give it a go but I know that is not the case for most people.
