 @Soh Tanaka - Hi Soh, If you still have a copy of the Excel spreadsheet would you mind sending me a copy as well. I'm a new investor and would like to to track my expenses.

@Daniel P Willis Thanks Daniel I will.

@Olivia C. Thanks Olivia. I definitely want to approach this like a business. Thank you for the link. I'll read up.

@Daniel P Willis

Thanks, you bring up a good point. I might be overthinking this a little. I give them a call just to chat and see what they are thinking. 

@Sai Toll

Thank you. That makes sense. I'll take my time with it. I forgot to mention that both tenants are month to month and I purchased the property with a FHA loan, so I have 60 days to give one of them their notice.

Hello,

I'm a new investor and just closed on a Duplex this past Friday. Both units are rented out and I need to give one of the tenants notice because I'll be moving into one of the units. Is there a process that needs to be followed in order to serve a tenant notice. I have not had my initial conversation with either tenant yet, so I'm a little nervous. What would be the proper way to handle this situation?

Great job! Inspiring!

@Courtney Jones That is good to know and congratulations on joining BiggerPockets! Thank you for the nice greeting! I wish you much success as well. 

@Arthur Bates We do have much in common. Although I like IT I'm ready to be in control of my own destiny. I was able to get my first property with out much issue, but figuring out how to get more is somewhat of a mystery to me, so  I would like to collaborate and be of service and learn as much as possible.  What is the best way to get in touch with you?

Thanks@Jennifer King! I will do that. 

@Tom Keith I feel like I'm in the right place, there is a wealth of information on this sight. Thank you for your response.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Mark and I currently live in Shoreline WA. I'm originally from San Francisco but moved to Washington state five years ago. I'm fairly new to investing, I have one rental property (Condo) that I bought a year and a half ago, which I make a modest cashflow from. I mainly want to focus on buying and holding properties. I would like to make enough positive cashflow monthly to walk away from my job, which is in the information technology field. I like working in IT, but in having a job I don't feel like I have much control over my financial future. I would like to learn how to successfully build a real estate portfolio that will enable me to eventually quit my job and gain more control over my financial life. Thank you BiggerPockets for creating such a great platform and I look forward to learning and sharing with all of the BiggerPocket members.

Thanks

Mark
