For legal purposes if you have a eviction the rooms need to be numbered, so keep that in mind.Shared type of roommate agreement for common areas, regarding cleaning, trash removal, laundry area, and overnight guests, and extra storage, also X marks the spot where you will park !!..

@Rachel Payton, there is that sweet spot that nobody really wants to share info about how to get from that first unit to the second and beyond.

In my opinion that is no different than playing the stock market, which most of my investments currently occupy.  

Welcome, Joe, great to start with clean slate and little cash and time on your hands, I started in real estate after cashing out my stocks, savings and 401k paying being penalties but it was worth it.

I might as well buy stocks otherwise.  

Make notice and start the eviction process; you can always stop it or choose not to go through with it, but start it asap.I always try to work with tenants who are in a hard spot, but work with them does not mean provide charity.

My wife and I just started a venture in North Texas, we were able to cash out some stocks late last year and put a down payment on a SFH in a north dallas suburb.

I notice that the Newbie's on BP always want to jump in and start making Money with RE Investing as if it were Stock Investing.

It's far better to do what fits you and your skill set rather than trying to find the sweet spot in the market.

I'm interested in buying a few shares of stock and I just contacted my SDIRA and they put all kind of restrictions.
