Equity would be a huge bonus but I wouldn't expect that in your scenario

Maybe the same thing could happen to SI, not counting on it but just a thought and a nice bonus.

Auction home on steps of the courthouse, came fresh with all the issues, and even included the previous owner still living there for a bonus LOL

I’m looking to buy and hold a property that cash flows well with appreciation being a bonus if it occurs.

(Bonus question, can I cold call cash buyers or only send them letters?) 

I provided a swing set that a resident or one of their friends got hurt on because it was old and something broke.So my question is should I replace it as a nice bonus to families with children or totally remove it because it is a liability I should try and eliminate?

You can earn additional money from pay raises, bonuses, taking a part-time job, etc.This is probably one of the safest ways to invest.

I have money parked in a Discover online savings account. 1.5% with a $200 bonus for having more than $25k in the account.

Tack onto that a low level bonus, usually $2000-5000 I will have at that time as well to get me going in the right direction.

As a bonus, even after all the court dates and the judge ruling in your favor, they give the tenant several weeks to move out.
