its just unplanned experience all of sudden with so many other big stuffs going on, hate to be sound like a bad neighbor. how to resolve it in best way

We canceled our last trip there last year due to the Omicron surge.

Otherwise you can grow but if suddenly lots of rents are not paid then you are at risk of loosing those properties  What does a cash reserve have to do with what I wrote  

Sometimes I can go for a few months without an issue and other times three or four things that need my attention will all of the sudden pop up.

My grandmother lost it all after my grandfather died suddenly at a young age.

You say you don't see the benefit of a 1031 exchange in this market, but if you could buy 3 properties with the equity using mortgages and they each cash-flow 50% as well as the current property you suddenly have 150% the cash-flow you do now, plus you have MORE mortgage pay-down and 3x the properties to appreciate over time AND MORE depreciation to claim on your taxes!

My advice is simple- buy nicer properties in nicer areas with the expectation that the first few years will be slim, and then all of the sudden you will be a millioniare.

However, I am worried that because I am the one taking the initiative on the repairs, suddenly all liability of the garage will be on me.

The process of making offers forces you to learn deal evaluation because suddenly everything is real and you don't want to overpay but you also want to eventually win a deal.

Does that all of a sudden change the value of the property?
