Real estate investing is often about taking baby steps.

None of this is meant to be "braggadocious", my current success is a product of the effort I've put in (i.e. not a trust fund baby; congrats to anyone who is, seriously).

Once booked, you can bet they'll be combing over the photos with a fine toothed comb and a gleam in their eye, and sharing the listing with friends and family (or fellow guests) as they envision their actual stay there. 

We had a baby a few months ago and he’s in and out of the hospital.

Imagine a widow testifying before the Texas legislature on how she lost her baby because an asshat landlord refused to timely fix the HVAC system. 

I am forever grateful for all of the advice that I have gotten from experienced REI's in this forum and on the podcast, look forward to sharing stories of my baby step successes! 

There is nothing wrong with loosing sleep at night when you've tossed a babies crib in the street in the morning.

I emailed them both about a week later saying that Linda has every right to move out of the property, however that they are both equally responsible to pay the rent for the duration of the contract.from the pay stubs lisa provided i don't see how she could afford rent on her own if linda does move out, even though she says she can afford it (maybe from baby bonus or help from family). even assuming she can make the payments on her own, i'm not sure on best course of action.since they applied together and one tenant leaves, Lisa may not meet minimum requirements to be approved on her own. should/can I make her re-apply on her own?

You also got to think about the baby boomer generation.

Ask questions you know the answer too, the agent should reply in a way that aligns with your thoughts (with out you telling them).
