Note, even if insurance pays for all the damage your property suffers, you still lose.

I'm guessing because you will lose tenants during a market crash and the large amount of debt can lead to the mortgage coming out of your own pocket (ie negative cash flow), and you can't sell the properties either since the prices dropped so low?

Hi Ryan,Wow parking for 30 dancing Zumba goers must make the street a true zoo(omba).30 friends getting together for dancing for fitness private party at someones house every Sunday after church, is different than using the property as a fitness destination business.It would be smart to ascertain which you have here.Simply telling her, your Sister wants to lose few pounds Zuba-ing--how much does it cost and can you have the join-up paper work for her might tell you what you need to know.

It is very common to lose money on that first fix/flip (I did).

This way, I had less fear that I would lose the deal if I couldn't get people to invest.

If you have a quad and you lose 1 tenant, you are at 25% vacancy rather than 100% with SFR.

I think the majority of mom-and-pop Landlords that are losing their shirts due to the eviction moratorium are minorities. 

Jumping in with both feet before you know anything about the business you're entering is the absolute best way to ensure you fail...and lose money in the process.   

@Lauren Kalisz You have nothing to lose by turning it over to a collection agent.

I just want to put my saved dollars to work instead of having it lose to inflation.Thank you so much in advance.
