Good economy last several years.  

On the drive, she mentioned that this will be the last weekend she would be out looking and putting in contracts.

When You make mistakes (fail)...learn and 'rebuild' BETTER " "Leave a lasting impression on people""We are too soon old and too late smart" "Time is limited" I honestly can't wait to have more quotes, because to me it's not just quotes, but lessons.

I started looking at investing in real estate as I saved some cash for the last few years.

Lastly, the properties I buy, because I am not a big investor or a big fund, are usually outside of a metropolitan area. 

I've been a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator/Mortgage Broker/Loan Officer (whatever your preferred term) for the last 15 years.

My borrower also owns an apartment complex financed with a bank loan and bought within the last year with other investors.

When the tenant moves out you will have a minimum of 1 month if not two months where you receive no rental income, you have to pay the mortgage payments and then you get to spend more money on make ready repairs, if the security deposit was low you will have more out of pocket so the income earned over the last 12 months has disappeared and then some.

Are the last 4 units going to rent for $1k/month?

Climate change was also a major contributor to the severity of the Louisiana floods last summer.
