Looking for someone who could teach me how to become a successful investor.

Granted I’m hos friend as well, so there may be a bit of a discount there.As far as bookkeeping goes, I would find software you like (I like wave, as it’s free) and either teach yourself how to use it or pay someone 15-25 dollars an hour for a couple hours a month to do it for you.

The people you get to know at these meetings will teach you the vocabulary, the hot markets in your area, what vendors to use (attorneys, contractors, subs, title companies, lenders, etc.). 

This community has changed hands several times but the management style has stayed consistent  so the value of the homes have risen.

@Charlie MacPherson a lot of people teach those "trigger" words and phrases but I haven't seen anything in writing from HUD that bans them.

If the tenant qualifies, they get an electronic lease immediately, pay the security deposit and I cancel the rest of the appointmentsProcess I'm considering tryingList apartment on Wednesday Have all potential tenants show up at the same time for an open house style of viewingHave all interested tenants fill out a free application with income info and other basic questionsPick best from the list and send them a paid background checkIf tenant passes then send them a lease, if not, inform them and move on to the next bestAny input on these two strategies? 

We arent interested in older homes that have been broken up into apartments -- but rather apartment style buildings with 4-8 units. 

These investors buy notes every day, and if you watch them work, they will teach you everything about the business and the due diligence process.

@Paul Sandhu LOL @Rita Lo sorry I don’t know anything about DFW but if you do buy and decide to self manage I’d be happy to teach you.

Life style changes?
