@Jason Chen But some learn harder than others and some never learn.

@Jason Chen I've never read his biography, but I'd be surprised if his cancer diagnosis did not humble him in some way. It only takes one life crisis to reshape a proud person. 

@Jason Chen he definitely found the "success" I was talking about. As far as his personal life and true happiness that is debatable.

Quinton Slay looking back at what you said about her wanting to understand this but you not knowing what else to say, have you thought about having a woman in real estate talk to her? Men and women think differently sometimes; maybe she needs to hear it from a female perspective. Just a thought.

Quinton Slay sorry I did not read the thread when I wrote. I didn't see how frustrated you were with the relationship advice. Sorry that some people are not treating your fiancé with integrity. It brings to mind the 7 habits of highly effective people. Assumptions and insulting behavior is definitely not on the list of effective leadership traits. Maybe some or many people find "success" with those tactics but never real joy. Maybe temporary happiness but that is fleeting. I wish you much success with your partner.

@Quintan Slay I'm going to say this from a woman's perspective and also someone with a background in psychology. She clearly does not seem interested to the extent you are. Now, hold that thought because that does not mean she could not be passionate about another aspect of the process or even all of it one day. I wouldn't push it and cause tension. I'm sure you are not marrying her to be real estate partners; I hope :) If you cannot let the fact that she is not as passionate as you, please work it out in yourself before you marry. You don't want resentments starting into a marriage. My husband use to be an accountant and I could not relate. I was a Special Education teacher working with kids with Aspergers. Only way I could help him was with the social aspects of working with different personalities. He later became a Math teacher/ Special Ed. Teacher, and I can now give him advice. That's not to say I don't get frustrated when he doesn't listen, lol. Now, we are both getting into real estate together. We compliment each other. He made me an awesome spread to analyze deals. I found the deal. He's the handy man and I love to decorate and come up with remodeling plans. My point is we both have different pieces of the puzzle. She's a social worker maybe she'd get excited about providing affordable housing down the line or helping people on section 8. Be creative. Number one rule of psychology you can't change people. You can provide her with information and ways she can be involved, but at the end of the day this may be your thing and that's ok:) Work this out before you tie the knot if it's a big deal to you. I've read too many marital books and been through my own things to know you need to resolve this. It won't go away at the altar.

What should I be concerned about legally if I inherit tenants that are not legal citizens? I'm currently trying to verify the tenants citizenship status with the current owner, but in the meantime I'm trying to figure out if there are any safeguards I can take. They are currently month to month. We plan to rehab and move out all tenants eventually, but I do not want to get myself in a bad situation. Someone mentioned on another post that at least in CA, if a tenant gets deported, it could take months to evict. Not sure if this is true in Az as well.

@Patrick Squires we are just waiting until the tenants are out next week.

Kealoha Lee It is sexist. How about she just use her intelligence instead of exploiting herself to those who will choose not to treat her with integrity. Ricky Bansal thank you, for showing some respect to the ladies.

I'm using an FHA loan on a multi-family and will be living in one unit and inheriting two tenants. Maybe talk to a different lender. I've never heard of this.
