Welcome to BP, Greg!! You're on the right track reading Schaub and Brandon's books

@Masta Purba

I agree with @Daniel O.. I don't think it was a good idea to allow the tenants to use their security deposit towards paying the rent. You need the deposits to update the apartment in the event they move out. What I've learn is that when you give people an inch, they will take a mile and it appears these renters whom you said were wonderful have done exactly that. Always be firm and resolute in your policies and procedures

@Ryan Ahlgrim

Id advise against allowing potential renters to view unit without someone representing your interests. That is, unless you have a system like @Kenneth Mooney in place. If you don't want to show the apartments, then its wise to enlist the help of an agent to show and screen on your behalf. I don't know the protocol in your state but in NYC, it's the renter who pays the agent his or her commission

Welcome to the BP family, Vivian! Yes, its very normal to be scared and excited since you are embarking on a completely new terrain. Its about taking baby steps. Educating yourself and surrounding yourself with seasoned pros who want you to succeed. Once you feel you are ready, take action!! Every investor makes mistakes on their first deals.  Experience is the best teacher

As the Nike commercial says, "Just do it!" You're definitely not alone in this journey. You have the entire BP community sitting in the bleachers cheering you on. Have you reached out to @Ibrahim Hughes? He's an investor in the Jersey area. He can provide some words of wisdom.
