A fairly reliable wholesaler who buys across the country, and spends $100,000 a month on advertising, also trains people to be wholesalers.

And, if you are buying a property that is already in good condition, or is fairly easily to rehab, you’re probably right.  

I got business  but you waded through the dreamers and those that spent their last dime on the course and no longer had money to transact or worse put the course on their CC.. now to be fair I have also funded a few that did quite well with what they learned.

Go to meetups, attend auctions, host your own meetups, hit up EVERYONE in your sphere of influence and add value to/communicate with your database on a regular basis so that you remain top of mind.Just put in the work and try to be a better agent every day.

But there is hope... if you drive through the 4th ward area, you can clearly tell which properties are owned (single family homes with kept lawns and neatly decorated) and which properties are rentals (usually a broken window or two, falling apart porches, messy yards)... the closer to the single family-dense parts in the 4th ward, the better chance you have of getting a rental property that hasn't been laid to waste that you can purchase for a fairly cheap price. 

First off, make sure you are communicating appropriately with the tenant.

Here are some of my thoughts:- charging the full mastermind to this property is not fair to this property.  

Although to be fair I had some that stayed for years .. 

Fair credit rating starts at 580 not 680 and these are renters not buyers. 

If the landlord is making a claim against the tenant's security deposit, he/she must send a written notice to the tenant's "last known address" within 30 days, via certified mail.In this case, since the tenant did not pay her last month's and stopped communicating with me, I obtained an eviction judgment.
