I mis spoke I sent a certified letter,60 days. I did have them served 3  other times for pay or quit. And after each time they were served got paid with In minutes.  He has texted me this afternoon that he is ready for inspection either tonight or tomorrow morning. He says he needs the deposit for rental truck and storage. The story had changed throughout the day. The more texts from him the crazier his story. Oh well hope it's over soon.   Thanks everyone for feedback advise and contacts.

Thanks guys. I just got a text from the guy, he texted me from a new number and said he shut down his other phone.  I will hope for the best if not eviction begins.

Hi all,

So I served my only tenant who has ever been late w non renewal papers . 

Throughout this year they have been late on multiply occasions and I had to serve them many times to pay or quit. The last two times we served him , the guy had white powder in his nose when answering the door. They always ended up paying but after many stories and excuses.  

There is only a couple days left on the lease and I sent a move out letter asking them to set a pre move out inspection and all the things they need to do to get there 2 month security back.  Then I texted them what day works best for inspection.  No response 

I asked them one time to show the place a couple of weeks ago and it stunk like smoke inside.

I am concerned that they might not leave come the first. 

I do have 2 months security but we are in New York and also it was a fully renovated place.  

I contacted my lawyer, he said come the first they can start legal paperwork.

Any thought or advise.

Hi all

I feel quotes are great ways to summarize a feeling or mood and even motivate certain behaviors.  This morning I read a quote and it was perfect for me and my investing. " if your rich you just buy it, if not you use a different wealth- your character and determination "

Please share any quotes that keep you motivated or just help remind you to keep on chugging  

Post: Broken Fridge Scenario

My tenant just came back from vacation, I had there carpets cleaned while they were away. I give free carpet cleaning if they are never late on rent . It also makes our carpets last longer. My rents are average but I give little thanks like that to Show them I appreciate their business 

They called to thank me, except it was to say fridge died. I told them to grab dinner on me and then I'd send them instructions on how to clean coil and check a couple of other little things. 

Fridge is 4 years old. 

They are an amazing couple and just signed for another year. I am also hand delivering a $50 gc to grocery store when I inspect if I need to get a new fridge.

buy right, if you buy right keep buying and  

If a resession hits buy more but make sure you are buying right then too. 

If you are buying well under market and you leverage the property  and get most of your money out so you can rinse and repeat then do exactly that.  Keep buying right and take out your investment and do it all over again.
