@Jeremy England I would not hold any property especially if you have multiple qualified applicants.

At that time wholesale and auctions seemed daunting so we mostly scanned the MLS, and zillow multiple times daily and after a we put an offer in for a 2 bed 2 bath with a 1bed 1 bath in the back of the property and got badly outbid!

Not good especially if you are leveraged and have multiple loans coming due. 

There are multiple opportunities to remedy the issue, on both the tenant's and landlord's behalf.Regardless of how a landlord chooses to collect rent, they could experience the same thing that happened to you.

-I have multiple other houses that are rentals.

I have been consuming every bit of information I can from both BP podcasts, forums and multiple books.I am an Army Veteran so I'm not afraid of hard work!

When sellers are interviewing agents and see that you finished college, something that you did not need to do, they are going to view you differently.

I interviewed her for my Benicia property, ultimately I did not use them because of the margins of my property. 8% and I believe half rent if they find you a tenant up to maybe $1450? 

Fortunately, all we needed was a copy of the PSA, a statement from the broker saying that the deal was publicly marketed with multiple offers, and a couple appraisal blurbs and... boom... you've got a certified, undeniable market value to tie to.

Not only that but if you were to have another thing go wrong that you needed to claim and now you have multiple claims in one year you be be non-renewed.
