There were some hiccups with the purchase of my current home, so I am a little worried that coming to this agent with hopes of investing so soon after won’t be taken seriously, and I’ll be put on the back burner.

I had to forgive a lot of the fees because my PM had so much going on between selling homes and managing over 20 other properties and the storms that came through along with personal family issues that I got put on the back burner.

A few months ago, a tenant complained the burners on the electric stove isn't working, instead of buying a new one for $600.00 I opted to fix it for $200.00.

All of a sudden phone calls can be returned later, clients can be put on the back burner, they make XX dollars per month and become complacent.Most promise the world and then don't deliver.

As far as I can tell, the hot water tank has filled and the heating mechanism (gas burner) is working (it makes the normal sounds and occasionally I feel the outgoing pipe is warm).Everything I've found says to run the hot water until the air stops and I get a continuous flow of water, but I never reach that point.

I have this dilemma right now, I have a rental in a nice middle class neighborhood, a 4/2 home, (Oak Park close to Berkley for the michiganders), probably can get $1,500 - $1,600 a month for rent, we are replacing the cabinets, granite and putting stainless steel appliances, the connection is for electric but have thought about putting a gas burner instead of electric, would you think it would be a good idea to turn it to gas?

I'm not sure if I should put this on back burner or keep at it.

I am not aware if they are ACTUALLY more dangerous or not, but haven't had any issues (for example, electric burners stay hotter longer, even though they don't look hot - easier to burn a kid accidentally?).

However, I became overwhelmed with all the information, lack of finances and graduate school so I put real estate investing on the back burner.

So...I back-burnered the whole thing (was in the process of moving, etc.) and now you know the rest of the story.
