But instead the baby is getting tossed out with the bath water.Let's not clutter this thread any further with these unrelated discussions.

Baby, nothing is free unless your time is worth nothing and that is something to think about.  

We all can't baby sit a rehab and if its coming on the recommendations of others.....and if the source is highly accredited well you can assume that you don't have to babysit the job. 

We bought two triplexes that first year, had another baby last year, and bought a quad this year.  

Hey guys, I wanted to share another great story on a property we closed earlier this year.As I’ve shared in previous posts, I have been partnering with other people to acquire more rental properties in Canada.I believe this is a win-win for both parties, as my partner has a full-time career and doesn’t have the time nor expertise in real estate to invest fully on their own and for me it allows me to continue to expand my real estate portfolio with less of my own funds.The exciting part about this latest deal is we paid $0 to acquire it…yeah baby!!

(Said the dude who attended Tiger High, has season tickets to Ole Miss and roots for every SEC team to 'just win baby' except when they play Memphis).  

Hasta La vista baby.

And again those are situations that you as an individual work out in your own way given your financial condition and how you feel about a certain tenant.. my classic was the tenant who told my PM they just had a new baby ( which I believe they did) record cold winter they could not afford heat and rent could I do something.. so of course I say sure.. don't pay two months and add it to the rent and pay over the course of the coming year.. end of two months they up and left  LOL. and for sure I can see how investors that are highly leveraged with little to no real reserves might react differently than those who might own the real estate free and clear or if they missed a month or two of rent its just no biggee 

I have a 3 year old, and about to have baby #2 here in a couple of weeks.  

Of course, without a SSN you can't join the military, work for the government or collect government benefits.Can you imagine what would happen if parents of newborns started not getting SSN for them?
