you be firm right out of the gate .

My commercial tenant removed the protective steel gates without my permission.

I had great work ethic, and im extremely intelligent, but without college, I became a tradesman, had to work my a$$ off to save money, and now I'm 41, still working in that same trade, and I wasnt able to scale nearly as quickly as I would have had I stayed in school, get my accounting degree (my major at the time I left), and got a high paying job.I'm not saying that it cant be done, and I wish you all of the thick in the world, but for every Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, there are a million of me.

The biggest problem most newbies have is they try to learn everything the bootcamps, courses and gurus throw at them right out of the gate and then the majority freeze up because they have no idea where to start or what to do first and ultimately do nothing. 

Only 1 thing left, replace the front gate to the property.

I'm just East of Cincinnati and fresh out of the gate. 

If you don't want to get too involved, put a gate across the driveway with a pin-pad access code and only provide the code to the people that pay for the garage.

The tenant also wants a metal gate installed for protection. 

Don't be afraid to offer on properties and lose out on them, and after a few overly-cautious deals (since losses right out of the gate can be difficult to recover from), realize you'll always have some losers (I lost $30,000+ on one “flip”, but was able to off-set that loss by soldiering on and having a couple of winners immediately thereafter).

A QC deed is some saying I am giving away any claim I may have against the property.I can give you a QC deed for the golden gate bridge.
