What motivated you to keep pushing if you felt defeated because you’re first deal did not go as planned ?

I was feeling defeated about the small claims court portion but I know she is divorced and her ex is a lawyer.

They've also took an extra month to remove a delinquent tenant because the Virtual Assistant "felt bad" for having to not renew a family, even though they weren't paying all the rent.Instead of insulating the owner against any management issues, they're basically forcing me to manage the situation--which defeats the point of Property Management.Thus, I'm paying the same amount of 10% management fee for a service that's gone severely downhill.Am thinking about switching.Question:Anyone have any recommendations on who I might talk to for managing SFHs in the Cordova/Germantown area?

I have almost been defeated in life but would like to give all I got into REALESTATE investing...looking for local mentors

While many investors facing a defeat will throw up their hands in despair, the best ones will take the setback in stride and press on.

Kinda defeats the purpose if everyone knows a good deal.

This, in my mind would pay for some of the closing, a lump sum PMI, and  a bit of a rate buydown.BUT as it currently is on the contract,  it states that the BUYER will be responsible for Loan Costs and PMI costs, which defeats what I want to do.

If they do, I will gladly take the case to defeat them.One caveat though: in a 1031 exchange you need to get the same amount of debt or higher.

That completely defeats the purpose!

You might be able to go 50/50 with an investor but that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it?
