Damn brother I am sorry to hear that. Did he sign a contract and do you have a lawyer you can speak to in this instance? I'm sure most people have said this but just wanted to post and wish you luck. Also, karma will be there. In the grand scheme of things this will be such a minor inconvenience for you in all your future accomplishments and unfortunately this guy will probably have the hardest time getting another job again. It's easy to say but try your best to let it be water off your back, my friend.

Her credit could be supbar due to many different reasons, not all being entirely her fault. You are smart to assess risk though. Being a landlord I tend to be lenient on credit and more stern on character and financial stability. Maybe get more info on her job and how long she has been there. At the end of the day we are all human and I have had tenants with perfect credit scores who treated the place worse. Hope this helps and wish you the best of luck! We all need a place to live

Hey Adriaan! Congrats on getting started on your real estate journey. To be honest, in my opinion, there is no such thing as timing the market. Taking advantage of opportunities is very real but no one really knows what will or could happen. I would stick to the thought that if it's a good deal, its a good deal. I would love to talk more and see how I can help. Let's connect!

Hey, Anthony! I can definitely understand feeling overwhelmed but even more so I can relate to the analysis paralysis. I always say if it's a good deal, it's a good deal. Keep an eye out and keep doing walk throughs and looking at as many properties as you can, that way you can get a feel for your niche and the current market! Let's jump on a call and connect man. Would love to hear more about your journey!

More important once it comes time to a cash out refi on the property if that's the avenue you're going down
