Gabriel, I work and educate investors nationwide but I do have to say - CT is one of the most tightly-knit investing communities in the country.

Here as a resource to help educate you! 

If you wait to serve until November 1 or later, you would have to wait until January 1 to start a court date.Of course, the tenant may not know this, but you are under no legal obligation, in most states, to educate them.

I have a tenant who often doesn’t even initiate the payment until the grace period, which results in frequent payments arriving well beyond the grace period.She owe back rent as well plus other late fees, but I’m interested in submitting a comprehensive tally for the eviction process, so I’m looking for the legal definition in CA. 

How about education. 

This is my first time posting to the bigger pockets forum but I must say the education I've been getting from the BP podcasts has been amazing. 

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

I am currently looking for a mentor in the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware) and would be willing to work for an education.

I offer them a cash down payment so they get a lump sum up front, and educate them on the tax benefits to them of taking the rest of their money over time.
