Jordan I have not spoken to a realtor.

thanks Jordan for the reply,I know its risky but I figured that at the worst I should break even, and that's at the very worst, and I could still pay off everything and be back at square one.

Thank you @Brandon Turner and Jordan Thibodeau for the welcome.I have already filled my keyword quota and they are working quite nicely, I could certainly use a few more.Forums have been great, mostly reading and learning for now but looking forward to being able to contribute meaningfully as I gain knowledge and experience.

As @Andrew S. said: "Some landlords will deal with such a situation upfront in their lease and put in a clause that says "the washer is provided as a one-time benefit for the tenant but will not be serviced or replaced if/when it fails".We provided window air conditioners to two tenants in our SFRs, and the leases state that they are a courtesy from the landlord and will not be repaired or replaced.

Is your furnace gas forced air?

I'm currently active duty Air Force in New Jersey, my enlistment comes to an end in August and it's back to Nashville after 9yrs.

For instance, I found a foreclosure for $25,000, went out to look at the property and from the outside, I could tell that there were no indications of foundation problems, could use new shingles (but no need for whole roof rebuild), new windows and probably air-conditioning repair(10-15,000).

Maybe we could scope potential RE deals from the air, or a new type of yellow letter marketing: Tow a banner that says "call xxx-xxx-xxxx to sell your home today!"

@Jordan L

Hi @Jordan T. , I've been thinking about this as well.
