@Rachel Jacobson. Great thanks Rachel. Yeah I know in the U.K. it’s a nightmare to get bad tenants out once they’re in. Wasn’t sure if it was the same here. But sounds like it is. I bought the book @Scott Jensen recommended so this should be a good start. Thanks guys!

@Mindy Jensen. Thank you so much Mindy! I’ll definitely take a look at them and buy the book. Ps. So glad I started looking at the forum part of BP today. Everyone’s been super helpful! My reading list is getting longer! Thanks everyone! :-)

@Frank Patalano. Lack of savings, not knowing how to find alternative funding sources, not knowing the local market (I’m from the U.K. living in Minneapolis), a worry that I won’t be able to find a good deal... all excuses I know. I’ve been making excuses for the past 15 years! Enough is enough. So I’m trying to learn all I can whilst saving up.

@Steve Hall. Thanks Steve. I wasn’t expecting anyone to brain dump their entire knowledge of being a landlord in this post. Rather o was just looking for some key pointers of critical things I’d need to know so I can go and learn more about them. Also tips on where to go learn is also helpful. I am new to the forums, but I’ve been listening to the BP podcasts now for months, and reading books. Thanks for the advice though. I’ll go and look into the forums for past materials on the subject.
