Here's some food for thought:- Many of my first time investors know from the jump that they aren't going to be driving 5 hours round trip for every little item, and also know that they arent prepared to handle things like disputes, evictions, lease violations, etc.

Some of these housing authorities are tyrants!!

We can add properties, but honestly, there just aren't that many deals out there. 

., I don't think licensing is warranted because they aren't representing you or selling you actual investments.

But now managing my own stuff and now managing for other people, property management companies aren't these huge profit centers unless the company has crazy efficiencies or they nickel and dime for you for every last thing.

Interesting to hear there are anti-RK folks out there, but then again, aren't all public figures subject to scrutiny....I just signed up to download your book -- great looking website and nice logo.Here's a question fitting for the newbie forum: what's the one piece of advice you wish you could go back and tell yourself before your first purchase?

If you aren't paying cash for the properties, you aren't buying in an LLC unless you are using a DSCR loan or other non-homeowner loan.

If they aren't, and you're having to manage this, you're not working with the right broker(s).

Once it has been exposed a number of times for “upset bid” with no bidders, a “free and clear” sale can be held (after the attorney for the taxing authority gets the judge to agree to divest all liens).

They definitely should turn the lights off and secure the property.They aren't professionals.
