The question I have is as follows.

@Francis Van Steen I would also like to know if we can have a follow up; did you decide to invest?

And at that point its not easy to un-invest - takes longer than to quit a job for sure.I think most of us have followed their passion.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

I think you can through BP or through the aforementioned REI meet ups more than likely.i am inclined to agree with a previous poster in that i'm not sure driving for dollars will necessarily yield you what you are looking for.Network with as many other MF investors as possible in your area and find an agent that knows the market and can at the very least set you up on an MLS search for your criteria.Coupled with BP's deal analysis calculator you can then begin underwriting properties you receive from the MLS with your agent or on your own to better understand your market and tailor your expectations moving forward.I'm an investor focused agent that focuses on MF and while we are not in the same market if you have any questions about moving forward with MF LTRs i'd love to see how i could help.

The more rehabs you do the better understanding you will have of the market for contacting work and materials.Doing a rehab every so often prevents you from being sharp with your budget.For those with limited exposure, ask others in the industry and always run your numbers based on being overbudget and overtime. 

It’s not every day that accusations of rent manipulation make headlines, and I wanted to understand how this impacts the millions of Americans struggling with housing costs.

I understand I cannot legally require them to respond, unless the notice specifically requires it, like for instance, a notice of entry, but it's making it difficult to manage the property, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

Each of these asset classes requires a deep understanding of market conditions, legal nuances, and financial structuring to avoid costly mistakes.For example, tax liens can seem like easy wins but come with complications such as redemption periods and legal challenges.

I understand that you don't pay taxes on borrowed money.
