Sounds like you have a pretty poor security system.Even with a good security system, having a tenant provide ID is the first step in a professional screening process. 

I think this is a great way to connect with other Real Estate professionals. 

If you make it to Memphis, we invest pretty heavily in the youth club game down here and our non-profit, Cancer Kickers Soccer Club, is the first non-profit to be on the jersey of a professional soccer team, 901 FC of the USL. 

My overall goal for my professional career is to start an investment firm and own a big multifamily portfolio and get into development.

@Jonathan Greene Thank you for that, I will seek out a meet up in my local area.

Are those the professional photos? 

Remember, a prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

Title work Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Most of them do not and can even hurt you - as your S-corp with rentals. yeah this was under the guidance of the tax professional i went to.

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. .
