@Ranae Richardson thanks for sharing.Our mission statement isn't as detailed, but this is how we start our application with hopes to weed out the problems and attract the applicants who care: Our Philosophy: We strive to provide affordable, clean, and safe housing, be fair with repairs, and improve the Highlands neighborhood.

Whenever I  find  myself striving for money and neglecting other things like mediation and my family I read Ecclesiastes to get me back on track for what’s really important .

thanks,strive

Since my goal was to cash flow I would have strived for even better cash flow.

I focus on neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city that are less dangerous and strive for the 2% rule.Financial Profile:Software engineer day jobNear 800 creditPrimary residence$230k loan, $60k equity$1600 month mortgage$1200 month roommate incomeSingle investment property$950 month rental income$250 month cash flow after mortgage and management fees$30k loan, $60k equity$100k Retirement account$30k personal cashDeal:Investor seller (moving out of area)12 homes fitting my profile in single neighborhood100% occupancy, 75% section 8each rent $1000-$1100 a monthasking $60k each, neighborhood retail is $40k-$70k depending on conditionSeller is introducing me to his portfolio lenderSeller is offering second lean to help qualify the loanConcerns: I will be meeting with the seller and his lender on Monday.

Plus, some may view it as condescending as they may not strive to be as monetarily successful as you or me.I'd keep your relationship strictly to rental property issues.

You have to stay at it and make sure it's something you want to do because if it isn't you won't strive harder to meet your goals.

From your description it sounds to me like a casual read, much like reading a book on Henry Ford or Eli Whitney or other successful people, probably not the text used as the curricula for a business class at the Chicago School of Business or Harvard..Moving to the level where our OP is striving to attain I'd say he needs to concentrate more to graduate level classes, analytical studies, modeling, market testing, analytical finance and economics.

As a property manager what advise do you give others who are striving to be property managers as well?
