I encourage new residential investing partners to buy their first one as TIC with %s listed. 

I've closed on my 1st Deal but now i'm at a Standstill! Everyone seems to be a Buyer until it's time to Buy! I'm certain Real Estate is my Future but it gets Discouraging at times!

If you only look at BP from the top level it looks like they encourage you to be overly risky, but the BP forums are filled with people discussing ways to mitigate risk and slower paths to success.

I am a newbie interested in getting my rental portfolio started but I have been encouraged to start with wholesaling to build capital, with that being said an opportunity fell in my lap (potential first deal) but its 3 hrs away (Edison, GA) I have researched the area and it appears there is not much activity.

HR rarely is able to do anything meaningful from a consultant reaching out to find work.

To anyone who has been too afraid like me I would encourage you to find someone you can help, it will be worth it the end.

But, if the existing tenants are a problem, then raising rents a sizable amount can be one way of encouraging them to move on.

@Chris Connolly I always encourage people to get 4-5 bid proposals from managers.
