Selling/buying/flipping/renting is an emotional process that can only be checked by numbers.

It's "Notice of lis pendens" and it basically means that there's been a lawsuit filed against the property usually when there's title dispute.As an investor, don't get emotionally attached to properties because it will end up costing you more money when you can't just walk away.

I realize he is your brother, but make sure you are not letting emotions get in the way of logic.

Here’s why:When they need a fast closingThey don’t want to go through the property listing process with brokersWhen they wanted to be selective about buyerWhen they want to make sure that the buyer will take good care of the propertyWhen the seller is emotionally connected with the propertyWhat I have been learning through this off-market experience is that buyers need to understand that everything is about sales.

Nothing can be done now but to install quality cameras and discuss with the police in person, what they can do to help mitigate things.You have to remove emotion.

Maybe I am a bit emotional about it as it’s my first investment and it’s good asset.What do you think, exit and benefit from the premium price now and reinvest again?

But that's TV, and to make (big money like you refer to) in Real Estate it takes specialized knowledge, TIME, and Money as well a the ability to handle Risk without breaking down mentally or emotionally....I'm not saying you can't do it--you certainly can...but it will most likely take time (in addition to your practice) and sometimes stress and TIME combined working at it.How long will it take...unknown.

Unfortunately for you and most new landlords (myself included), tenants will play to your emotional side, and being a nice person you want to work with them.

But I’m just unsure about the whole thing, it sounds like this tenant has a real emotional need so i don’t think it’s a fake.

Don't make emotional decisions.
