New to Real Estate Investing

[Account Closed]

Hi everybody, I am a recent college graduate and am new to real estate investing. Im trying to gain some insight into the thought process of some successful & knowledgeable investors here on BP. I had a few questions that I really want to be able to answer for myself, and your insight will really help me to do that. 

1) What does buy and hold investing mean to you?

2) What sites/publications do you use to stay up to date with industry changes?

3) What are some issues you have faced with tenants that differs from the norm (not paying on time, filling your property, etc) ?

4) What are some issues you face managing your rental properties

5) Im considering using a Property Manager, but I have heard a lot of bad stories, what has your experience been using one, if you have ever used one?
