I converted the condo to rental property in January of 2018.

I can likely come within 5% of their income, and withing 5% of what my eventual NOI will be. 

Tax Hit and Save Cash: ~24% tax hit, but have cash for the next downturn, and can purchase more property with less capital, and potentially see greater gains as the market eventually recovers. 

There's a good chance it will get worse and they'll eventually stop paying completely.Give them written notice that they have to pay everything in full by February 1st or you will start the eviction.

Pictures would be helpful, but it will probably need to be fixed eventually anyway, if they haven't made frivolous requests on other things thus far it seems unlikely that they would start 5 years into a tenancy. 

goal is to hold this property and eventually buy another one and repeat.

The couple and I had been friends and spent time together socially for a lot of the year I've lived here, but I eventually started to like them less--casual racism, overbearing manners, etc.

In the back of my mind I always knew there was a different way to treat finances and navigate through life and eventually reach financial freedom.

It just suddenly dawned upon me that I hadn't quite taken the opportunity to look back on 2019 as a whole and simply digest everything that happened - definitely a B-LU-RRRR (see what I did there).For the majority of the year my "day job" encompassed managing a 15 agent brokerage focused mainly on assisting others with buying and selling their primary residence, before eventually switching brokerages and starting a new team at my current brokerage.

I ended up getting a contract for 117 eventually, but ended up selling this property on a lease option agreement for 130k.
