RE is a get rich slow game and there are increasing number of people talking about how difficult it is to retire from your day job even with large numbers of rentals because cash flow is thin.On the one hand there is the Small But Mighty portfolio mentality which I believe is a book in the BP store by Chad Carson.

Most people taking in foster children are good, honest people that will take responsibility for any damage done.

Thanks for your response.

That teaches the occupants that they aren't 100% responsible for cleaning up after themselves.

In order to get a response, and validity, they'll want you to actually provide the basic filing and proposal of what you seek to change at the property/building. 

Taking care of someone's asset is a responsibility that you should not take lightly. 

They no longer work for you, so monitoring a collection action is not their responsibility.2.

Now, they are contesting the eviction saying in their response to court that  I did not repair two issues because of which they are withholding rent.

And, especially if your goal is to build a portfolio to live off of, bad deals (and even marginal deals), will keep you from achieving that goal much more than slowing down and waiting for better deals to surface.But beyond that, I also find I get most burnt out when I am invested in deals emotionally and with time.  

It seems I would need to submit around 100 offers just to achieve a potential engagement of 2% to 5%, with no guarantee of closing any deals.Thank you for your response, I definitely appreciate it.
