Recover from torn MCL by sticking to PT then hiring a personal trainer to maximize accountability in the gym.

It took me a while to recover and we had our doubts when we jumped back in - but we took those lessons and made a serious profit machine.

If the only money that came out of our pocket was the DP, then that's ALL the property cost us to buy.We have to recover all of our cost before we made any profit. 

Your cost is what comes out of your pocket, and you have to recover that before you make any profit.Saying your cash flow is better is an illusion.Let's take a property where the agreed upon price is $100k, with $10k/yr in CF without financing, and $5k/yr with financing.Example #1:  All cash buy1 - It will take 10 years to recover all the cash.2 - It will take 10 years to accumulate enough new cash to buy the next property.3 - In 10 years, the profits will start to accumulate at $10k/year, and the 2nd property will start its 10 year wait to recover the $110k cash spent on it.Example #2a: 20% down, 80% financed...$80k cash left over1 - It will take 4 years to recover all the cash.2 - It will take 4 years to accumulate enough new cash to buy the next property.3 - In 4 years, the profits will start to accumulate at $5k/year, and the 2nd property will start its 4 year wait to recover the $20k cash spent on it.Example #2b: 20% down, 80% financed...on 5 properties1 - It will take 4 years to recover all the cash...on all 5 properties2 - It will take 1 year to accumulate enough new cash to buy the next property...with $5k left3 - In year 5 you'll have 6 properties, $30k cf, and $35k to work with...and you can buy your 7th property...with an extra $15k4 - Year 6 = 7 properties, $35k cf, and $50k to work with...and you can buy properties 8 & 95 - Year 7 = 9 properties, $45k cf, and $55k to work with...and you can buy properties 10 $ 11.6 - Year 8 = 11 prop, $55k cf, and $70k TWW...and buy prop 12,13 & 14.7 - Yr 9 = 14 prop, $70 cf, and $80k TWW...and buy prop 15 - 18.8 - Yr 10 = 18 prop, $80k cf, and $80k TWW...and buy prop 19 - 22....and the $100k buyer just gets their 2nd property.Also, at the year 10 mark, the 20% buyer has 22 properties appreciating and $110k in cf/yr...the $100k buyer has only 2 and $20k in CF/yr.Now I'm not suggesting you buy 22 properties (although that works). 

Best time to start is in your 20s, no commitments and young enough to make mistakes and enough time to recover. 

@Rosario RolandiI'm happy you have recovered!

It is not customary for a personal injury lawyer to request the client recover a certain threshold of fees if the lawyer loses the case.

I am wondering what routes/options I have to go after my previous tenant to recover some cost of repair and breaking contract.

They had a job to do, and my situation was one that allowed me to walk away so my family could recover from our issues.Respect.

I personally believe that this will be a short to mid-term lag and we'll see the economy and housing market recover and expand in Q1 of 2021.
