But I would liken it to wearing a seat belt.

I just saw this on the internet... As an Ohioan and Landlord, I am appalled at the immature actions of this landlord. While we may feel like doing this to some tenants, this is just ridiculous behavior. What are your...

Your profile says "I want to get my first deal under my belt.. " I can tell by your comment you are anxious to get going.

It's all about the money.Many bought the belt line with grants, TAD bonds etc. in mind to develop the land.

Often REO listing agents are simply too busy to answer their phone or respond to email and if they do they may simply refer you to another agent to make the offer.Once you have some experience under your belt you may be able to get on an REO Broker's call list and you can hear about and be ready to make offers before some listings even hit the market.I hope that helps.

Then cherry pick the best deals to rehab and after you get some deals (and cash) under your belt, hold a property as a rental, providing it has nice cash flow.I hope this helps!

If the blower motor burns up because they aren't changing the filter, I would charge them for the repair.

Same with ignitors, etc.Is a filter that costs less than $1 worth saving a furnace blower motor over?

I mean eventually I feel I'll have 50-100 units under my belt someday and I'm not going to be a full time landlord yeck!

Congrats on getting the first one under your belt but I wanna hear the details.
