I would love to catch some coffee or food and see if I can help you in any way.  

Gas up all vehicles. 2 bins of food, gatorade, and water. 

Can someone recommend a gardener who serves this area?

So far this strategy has served me pretty well.  

BP has all the information on real estate served up on a silver platter.

You would be better served focusing on other aspects of your life and financial situation before trying to get into real estate. 1) Leverage your college degree to get a higher paying job2) Refinance or pay down your student loans.

@Aaron PetersonI moved your thread to the landlords forum.Snow removal ... it will be here before you know it ... .I've already put our RFQ as we were not happy with our service in one city last winter.In our experience, when it comes to landscaping/lawncare and snow removal, anytime you cannot define where one tenant's domain ends and another begins, the obligation falls to the landlord.If you have a side-by-side duplex or a row of townhouses where each tenant has their own drive and patch of green, you can hand-off snow removal and lawn care to the tenant ... though you are just as often better served to take care of it yourself and bake it into the rent.Anytime you have stacked units or a block (such as a small purposely built quadruplex), the parking and green space are common areas (just like stairwells in the interior) and fall to the landlord.

I suspect in Omaha you can do very nicely on say 20k a month... and spend say 5% of your income on a toy.. still leaves you 19k a month to live on.. great house in your market probably all in is not more than 3 to 4k a month leaving you 15k for food and cloths.. so you can buy the car  :)

Back this up with the 60 day notice served properly.Find out if there are any barriers he faces to getting the stuff out in a timely manner.

If the tenants are on month-to-month leases, you can serve the proper termination notice at the next interval.
