I have acquired 16 rentals in the past 6 years, many on the courthouse steps in auctions. I have loved fixing them up and in the beginning renting. It's been a long hard road renting properties and not all tenants are 'good' tenants (i say this as i just finished up a clean up removing 4000 lbs of trash & debris from a home after an eviction, AFTER she moved and took what she wanted), those are the really BAD days. The worst part for me is fixing the same homes up over and over again. But in my defense, i love the new purchase, i love the initial fix-up. I must, i am still buying more homes today. Love what you do and the bad days are just what they are, bad DAYS. Unfortunately i do have to say that real estate investing and rentals are not ‘all fun & games’.
