At one time, I owned six separate rental properties in CO Springs, however my plan was to continue to purchase properties plus create a sizable bi-weekly income, and as I paid off the mortgages, the rents would go into my pocket, however it seemed like the perfect retirement plan, but unblessedly, the tenants became a immense problem. I invested quite a bit of money into modernizing plus fixing up the properties. I bought new water heaters, appliances, windows, security systems plus Heating and Air Conditioning units. I installed smart thermostats, carbon monoxide detectors plus smoke detectors. I added some flair with beautiful faucets, cupboards, vanities plus light fixtures, and despite being severely careful with vetting potential tenants, I ended up with nonstop troubles, however the tenants continually called me with complaints. They complained about everything from air quality plus noise to water pressure plus paint colors, no one paid their rent on time, and several of the tenants smuggled cats plus cats into their apartments despite our no-pet policy. They also lied about the number of people living in the unit. They failed to take out their garbage, mow their grass or handle even the simplest cleaning plus upkeep. I went through several eviction processes, then when one of my rental properties caught fire because a tenant fell asleep while smoking, I’d had enough. Although I considered contacting a real estate agent, I wasn’t willing to make a lot of repairs or deal with months of negotiations. Instead, I submitted an online contact form to a money homebuyer. They answered with a money offer within twenty-four hours. There were no contingencies. I simply accepted or declined, and once I agreed, the closing was reached very abruptly.
