Do you have rules regarding the living room & sharing the TV (was it a free for all, or was it more like this is my TV & my house, I watch what I want to watch, you can go to your room and do your thing)?

Just recently, I setup new TV service at my house.

First of all I am not a tax person or lawyer and don't play one on tv so you shouid consult a professional in your areas.I'm sure someone with more properties may be able to better answer your question but here is my experience:I live in CA where we DO have state income tax and I have rentals in Ohio.

I've become almost 100% convinced that there is one real estate training company out there and all they do is create licensing deals with all the reality tv RE investor people.

I'm not a professional wholesaler, nor do I play one on TV:)My experience with lenders and assignments is that they hate it.  

As an example: John Doe, realtor, home address, age 46, date of birth, married, likes watching football on tv, golf enthusiast, 3 investment properties, do it yourselfer, 60% loan to value, $650K home value, length of residence 21 years,  NOW...if you are selling a do it yourself putting green....he might be ideal lead.There are many list providers out there for realtor email lists...but if you know what makes someone tick...that is where real value is.

They don't do TV, Radio, Print, or even social media marketing. 

They had a friend (not on the lease) help them clean up the house and the friend has put in a bed and TV while the tenant was moving to new place out of state.  

I would make sure you find a mentor who is at least a decade ahead of you in experience with the financial success to show for it AND is also adapting to the shifting marketing strategies with mobile devices dominating everyone's attention more than TV, radio, or mail. 

Isn't this kind of like the ability to change channels when you don't like the show on TV?
