I have been in this for three years and I have had a partner in some form or fashion on 80% of the deals I have done.

And or they are looking for mentors and guides to help them along.. as opposed to the old fashion way of getting a RE license and learning the trade.I was very late to coming to BP personally just started less than 3 years ago.. so averaging over 4,000 posts a year...

I won't have any security deposits for any of the tenants since they're month-to-month, but going about it in a calm & "helpful" fashion as you've described is definitely going to help.

As the borrower sends in the material requested additional hardship packet letters will likely go out which do not live-update the items missing or needed, so they can look like the entire list in a repeating fashion.  

As far as the Marshall Reddick question goes: I think he's retired (and now run by his former colleagues) and it is just a local company whose free meetup I went to; they procure these free listings on their website and do some analysis for you so it is easier to do the math, at least, in a preliminary fashion.  

I have felt that way until I began consciously replacing the people that surround me.I went to new networking events and began spending time with people that challenged my own way of thinking to become greater.Then I began to view the originally discouragements with less importance on my well being.These days, I've found ways to communicate with people to effect MY ideas in a more effective fashion.  

Play your hand in clever fashion.

I have a store online where we sell women’s clothing and it make some nice side money that will help build a bigger rental portfolio but I am at a cross roads now where we really need a method of buying in bulk and at deeper discounts than clearance racks.I have been told to look into off price auctions and fashion trade shows but there are a lot of different sites that come up so it is hard to tell what is legit and good or not.What I am hoping to find is a way to either buy/bid online or shows/auctions I can travel to and make bids on "lots" of clothing.We sell mid-range and high end brands now so trying to avoid no name crap stuff you might find at the dollar general :) we need stuff like what they would sell in a Dillard’s, Macy's, Bells etc.If anyone has advice to share PLEASE PLEASE do so or PM me.

@Dave Van HornFor us, we view our product in a similar fashion. 

I'm planning to invest out-of-state and am hoping to narrow down some of the areas I'm considering using good old fashioned analytics.
