It usually takes the insurance companies several weeks or months to approve major repairs like these so a lot of the contractors will be waiting around for the insurance to give the go-ahead.

I can't envision ever selling the house with this hanging over it and don't see a whole lot of point in continuing to operate it as a rental since it's never been particularly profitable and I'm just straight-up tired of trying to manage it from a distance.I owe $53000 on the mortgage and have considered trying to sell it for cash to an investor, but again with this kind of liability it's hard to imagine I'll have any success.Any and all suggestions are welcome.

If it works, you are ahead, if it doesn't you still have a deal you are happy with.

The county comptroller just released a TOTALLY doom and gloom report on all of the bad economic things that would happen if this living wage proposal goes through and the supporters are still full steam ahead!

I went ahead and ordered the course.

I went full time right out of the gate.I was doing a seminar or two every month, so that included travel, and not all of it was RE stuff, I did some Tony Robbins and some other "get your head on straight" classes in there, too, plus a mentorship program (that I cancelled because I knew more than they did) but yes, I spent six figures on my education.

If you aren't already, you should start to diversify.If the answer is no, then congratulations, because while you are a small business owner and not an investor, you are still ahead of most of the rest of the population.

I also want to invest while holding my full time job.I'm here to learn and am excited about the challenges that lie ahead.

And congrats on getting your head on straight at a young age!

Any repairs needed are done a head of time or schedule after the move-in.
