Well not if I signed paperwork saying If I break it for any reason I give back the deposit.

If your new job in New York is demanding, a property manager might be the way to go.

In the 6 months I'll be doing some rehab (paint, floors, some fixtures, new island, etc.).

In the second year, assuming the same vacancy and repair costs, the cash flow would still be negative by $46.

I have a tenant who I believe to be on some type of heavy drug like herion, or meth ...I recently inspected the property it was full of garbage everywhere some hording, it's just trashed. 

A tip: While comparing mortgage brokers, don’t forget to ask them about any incentives or first-time homebuyer programs that may be available in your area.

Thanks a ton and I appreciate the well wishes.

No matter how well you vet them, sometimes you won’t know how good they are until it’s too late.

If anyone has any tips or tricks for this process I would be happy to hear them.Thank you.

I am as well!
