I will definitely start working on the steps you have highlighted.

@Steve Vaughan Account ClosedPlease excuse me, I just figured out how to highlight the names. 

I say all this not to sound like a pompous jerk, but to highlight that failure isn't an option and I really need to be successful with this.

Make sure you highlight the links you want to visit. http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingFrom what I could see, this looks like it's in an area with other duplexes, but the neighborhood looks really nice and well maintained.

During my lease signings I go paragraph through paragraph through the lease and highlight that problems they cause, they fix. 

Pick the one you want and the name will appear in your post highlighted.

Looking to make some significant changes this year to meet my goals for the next 5 years.As for my book(s), if I was to judge by the amount of bent pages and highlights in the book it would have to be "The Book on Flipping Houses", second would be "How to Flip A House" by Brant Phillips.Aside from the bent pages, for personal development/learning to relax, I'd have to say "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss.

I've found that in working closely with realtors and having an open form of communication, the process of buying, selling, and closing on a home becomes simple and highlights the importance of customer service- and making a good impression is what we live for!

Highlights for duplex- asking $245k- 4bed 2.5 bath each unit- built 2006 - current rent roll is $3100 per month (avg rent in area is $1200-$1300 per unit)- current tenants are month to month- taxes is $4500 a year for non homestead- insurance is $1900- tenants pay all utilities and maintenance - no other maintenancePrice is negotiable.

I feel more comfortable reading and highlighting books than reading an entire book or e-books from a computer or pad.Here's what I need?
