Hello, I am looking for C class neighborhoods to invest in.

A tenant who hasn’t fully paid the security deposit after move-in, is repeatedly late within the first 90 days, and hasn’t paid late fees despite reminders is showing financial instability and testing boundaries.

Every dollar in is being tracked by the OTA's, CC company, etc and you will receive a 1099 from them (money in). 

The property we invested in is in Texas, and we feel it has not been well-managed. 

I realize this may feel like a bit of a unicorn in today’s market, but as a first deal—especially investing out of state—I’m focused on minimizing risk as much as possible.My total budget is $200k–$250k all-in.

What part of the Inland Empire are you in?

Because I grew up in the city I bought this home in, I knew the area very well and had 3 of my Core 4 already identified that I worked with to bring this deal together.

With current rates, I’m not convinced the numbers would still make sense once carrying costs and refinance timing are factored in. 

What state are you located in? 

That's where you get actual margin.The low buy-in is appealing, but you're really buying complications and uncertainty.
