@Harrison Sharp - Definitely going to be more active and looking out for meet-ups and networking opportunities within the Chicagoland area. 

I would tell them there are cameras and if I catch them again they will be reported for trespassing and charged for damage to my lawn.Then I would either install a camera or I would install some very long, sharp spikes in the dirt to guarantee at least one flat tire if they did it again.Then, and only then, would I consider the additional expense of a fence, boulders, or whatever.

@Kristopher Sharpe Once you are already connected with your tenant, they can easily send you a message in TC Messenger and attach the needed documents.

Trent Armstrong with Iberiabank is a very sharp guy that could probably answer all your questions when you're ready to move forward.I can not speak to which market would be better for your rentals as I am not familiar with OK, but I have been studying the NWA market over the past year and currently reside in Bella Vista.  

@Edward Sharp I just ordered David Greene's book.

Personally I won't lose a friend over a difference in profit sharing (unless really distressed like needing this extra money to feed my family).I would use the pain as a sharp reminder to never get into any deal with anybody without prior and clear agreement.

Steel has seen a recent sharp spike in price, but like I said, this spring from what I hear from metal building suppliers, they seem to feel as if steel will crash, and that would make those types of buildings more affordable.

@John Underwood sounds like your excel skills are sharp! 

The IRS is in the process of hiring thousands and thousands of new, eager and sharp auditors.

We work mostly with STR/Airbnb investors in Colorado, and the sharp increase in home prices the last two years has severely cut into the easy-money gold mine that they were.
