2025 is in the books! I published my full 2025 Annual Report here (with previous years available at the bottom of this page.)
Very solid start to the new year in Q1 and Q2: net cash flow is $69K, which is $17K ahead of projections.
However, the maintenance trials & tribulations have continued at Property #7 with (another!) honeybee nest, a nasty sewer issue under the house, and various other issues (still ongoing).
I’ve had only one turn so far this year (Property #20) and it was cheap and quick. But I do have one tenant currently under eviction — a tenant who was placed in one of the units of my duplex (Property #18) last year. We’ll see if they’re able to get back on track, or not. I also have two other tenants who submitted notice-to-vacates for later in the year, but I’m trying to see if rent relief will convince them to stay.
NOTE: The reduction in expected monthly cash flow in 2026 reflects significant increases in both insurance costs and property taxes I experienced in 2025. I expect insurance increases to be more muted going forward, and property tax adjustments are only made in Memphis every four years, so I’m good there for a while.
