They made me put my name on the property (via quit claim) which subsequently ate up one of my 10 financing slots.We have done a cash-out refi with our portfolio lender, so I know the answer to that is 'yes'.  

Over the course of a year my wife and I fixed it up, rented to friends, ate peanut butter and jelly, did everything we could.

That ate up cashflow so now i'm breaking even.

I'll message you.That makes sense about the biltong; I probably ate mine during the journey. :)

We used a 6 inch foam brush w/ Tub n Tile and the chemicals ate the foam quickly, but it did go on evenly. 

after that I was laid off my job and never received my unemployment, My bills ate away almost all my savings. 

.- rehab ate more then you thought- the effort to create forced appreciation via rehabbing is harder then said- bad luck starting in Jan or so, Fannie sent out guidance on cash out rental REFIs tightening up underwriting and like FHA/VA  appraisals being done conservatively now rental appraisals are too.=== You can wait 9 mo to a year to get a bit more appreciation? 

But the most common tenant misconceptions have to do with not understanding that a lease is a contract.They are SHOCKED to learn (1) they are responsible, financially, for the FULL term of the lease even if they have a “good reason” to want to move out early (job transfer, moving in with girlfriend, don’t like the downstairs neighbor), unless the lease or local rental law says otherwise (2) “damage” includes painting the walls purple and the cost is putting the walls professionally back to off white (3) they have to follow any rules laid out by the lease, the HOA, and the governmental authorities (4) rent due on the “1st” is actually LATE and subject to penalty and or eviction if not paid by the 1st (5) the bs that worked on their parents in their pre adult life ( the dog ate my homework, I was sick so I didn’t do well on the exam, nobody told me class started at 8) doesn’t work in the real world.

The agent represents and my best interest when they speak to other agents and follows the ethics to a tee!
