I am an extreme newbie, having just begun to listen to some podcasts and enter this site.

I've begun to read a few books, went to a few seminars, and I think I'm about ready to become addicted. 

My husband/ business partner and I have recently begun our REI journey.

I know they've begun looking for a new place; another landlord contacted us yesterday for a reference.We've relisted the place and I've modified the house rules document you suggested and added that to our arsenal.

There is no reason to be gun shy about legal issues if you simply do what is usual and customary, that's where investing begins, learning the basics of real estate, business law and basic financing.You need to fine tune your plans and act, focus on what you really need to know before you leap, but get with the related professionals, attorney, accountant, title company, insurance agent and your lender (yes still see your lender but not having a job means you'll need immediate guidance there as well).

I've only begun to investigate seller financing but not sure if I'm ready to pull the trigger yet. 

As I begin to look for a second buy and hold rental property in Providence, RI , I have begun to look more closely into the fundamentals of the city for growth and future rental increases.  

If they haven't paid December's rent (and you haven't already begun the process), then file on them today.

Hello everyone,I have just begun to learn a lot of real estate investing.

I know there are many good ways to do it, and so I'm not looking for the perfect/right answer, but rather some ideas of what worked for others (or didn't work).A little bit of context:I am new to REI and have begun taking steps toward my first investment.
