I stop to talk and he stated that he was not the hoeowner but a neighbor taking care of the lawn.

Maybe not now with all that's happening, but don't be surprised if they stop paying rent or move out soon after you buy it.

@Joyce Orange I believe, but I could be wrong, that true losses (not lack of rent payments) can be carried forward, as long as you never stop carrying them forward...one gap year and you lose them.

Negative returns are fine, as long as the income never stops,  but what if it does?

Being a landlord now I feel that it is my responsibility to help build our communities and stop the hate.

Whether you decide to pay off debt or invest, you’ll want to make sure you maintain a healthy emergency fund.

I researched a couple of turn-key options online and found the one-stop service by Roofstock looks quite interesting.

There are a few others that never stopped, they just lowered their LTV's.

Keep in mind any of your clients can and will realize they could be doing what you’re doing very easily and stop paying you.

I don’t want this to stop me from purchasing within the next 6 months.
