@Junior Soares WOW..that is amazing. You certainly made it happen. I truly cant say its not pissible if you could manage that. You have each given some great advice. The audiobook idea i just did. Bought the How to invest in Real estate book at the BP bookstore in digital and audio. Im in the car 2 hours a day. If i cant read....i can listen. As for checking properties..guess i could look on n sites like Redfin and the like to look at listings. I know RealtyTrac sends me updates on foreclosed homes...could look at those to.

Good advice. Just TRULY sucks to know where you want to be and you cant even really start doing it due to circumstance

Much appreciated. biggest thing Ive learned so far...hard to manage property on your own. Things tend to get personal. Feel horrible getting rid of this lady...went through a bad divorce...has 3 young girls. Just got too much info on her the good guy in me is making this harder.  I have already checked with the Town Attorney and am awaiting a response as to what can be done. From what I am seeing, I may have to have the town or Police handle this removal as it alleviates a lot legal issues I would have to bare should I do this on my own.

So last year I really got seriously interested in learning about real estate investing. I was put to this site by a realtor who I now call a friend. from then to now, my place of work was sold to a much larger company in February. Since then....its been hell staying on my feet with the changes. Long hours...short staffed..and Im in charge of the place and have to put in the hours. That being said...this change has drained the life out of me. Literally exhausted at the end of the day. My family barely sees me. I have lost my way on this journey to trying to change my life through investing. Cant seem to find a way to do my job...give to my family and kids and find the time to learn this so I can grow and provide for my family. So....im sure many have been on this journey before me.  Im looking for insight on how you have overcame challenges like this. Where did your start your journey? What reading did you start with...How did you begin. Thanks 

So I have a tenant who has had an unregistered vehicle which is also inoperable according to Suffolk County court on my property for well over a year. The county only discovered this in June when a neighbor called the county on the tenant for a different issue. I have already appeared in court and been served a fine for illegal storage. Question is this: I gave the tenant notice to have the vehicle registered and repaired by no later than this coming Wednesday. Per her norm...she has not done so. Does anyone know, or even know where to find, the legal information I need to determine my right to have her car towed off the property? She has been aware of the need to handle this since June 24th and we have already multiple conversations via text message indicating the need to address this. I gave this wednesday as the deadline. Any advisement appreciated. 

@Andres Baena Any help at all would be good
