If you throw in the towel after one failure, I'm not sure you've really learned anything.

If you’re interested, I have a project in Washington DC $5.5 million section 8 property with a 2 year 18% return on your money with the buyback plan if you’re interested call Pierre 702-406-2469 or if you know anybody I’ll throw you a referral fee

5K rent seems cheap for the area so I would continue with that.

These properties today can throw cash like crazy, but you'll be dealing with a certain kind of tenant and depending on your tenant screening could be looking at higher costs due to poorer tenants.

0 Chance.Cmon, pay for insurance or just don't own real estate.Trying to gain an extra 2-3% ROI and risk your entire principal is just stupid.Don't be cheap, get insurance.

I have become obsessed with educating myself everyday though the sources I listed above and have been promoted an opportunity where I need the bigger pockets families opinion.About 2 months ago a family member had received an email from Real Estate Sales LLC - Flip Cheap Houses.

Also, you are throwing the word Architect around a lot.

Cheap fixes rarely work . 

We have a 15 year mortgage with about 7 years left (throwing a bit more on principal each month). 

Maybe if you really like these guys and their work...and feel that they honestly got in over their heads, you could throw them an extra $500 just to appear 'nice'.
