depending on your particular State Law - and get rid of those tenants. You should have done that when they missed the 1st month. #2 - Hire a reputable rental company to handle renting your properties from now on. They really screen the tenants well, including credit checks and references. Yes, they charge a percentage of the rent for the service, but it will actually save you money in the long run because you will have paying tenants versus non-paying tenants. #3 - get rid of the new house, pronto. About the only way you are going to sell it semi-quick is to leave equity for the new owner, so don't be greedy - forget the $30,00 you can make and settle for $10,000. Investment in real estate is dead - the speculators (house-flippers) are gone. There are tons of condos, lots and houses in new subdivisions for sale that investors purchased for a quick buck. If you want to own and handle your rental properties, then take a REAL course - not Carlton Sheets who has made the bulk his money off of people like you - not off of realestate.

Put notices up at the grocery store,etc.
advertising homemade pies, cakes, breads etc. A lot of the famous and rich people in this type of industry started off this way. I think it isn't that big, at least not in the smaller cities, but we have people that come into your home, plan a menu with you and then cook so many meals a week. There is also a business that just started near me where you go to their store, they have all the makings for 6 different meals and you just put them all together. One place has cooking lessons for kids and also opens to kids cookie parties and he is doing very well. Work with a caterer prn. I live in a city of about 230,000 and we have events that are seasonal where caterers are hiring dozens of people, with June coming up they will be hiring to help with weddings.
I know lots of people with psychology degrees and none of them are working in their field because there just aren't any jobs.
You don't mention a husband or kids, but if you are young and no responsibilities now is the time to go out on the limb.
None of the above would require a huge time commitment or financial commitment and you could test the waters while still having a FT income. If it took off you could scale back your hours, or try and do both for a while and get your debts paid off and then be in a position to jump in with both feet.
Our local community college has a culinary program. I think it is still largely male dominated, but still lots of females too. I don't know if this is a 1 year or 2 year program, though I think it does require a lot of hours. You could do it during the day and work nights/weekends. It wouldn't be easy, but nights/weekends usually pay more.
If you want it bad enough you'll find a way.
Where I live jury duty notices do not come
certified mail. Maybe he has a ticket he hasn't paid. Has he had a small claims against anyone - could be payment owed him.
