@Michael Thach well bad PM co, its all about screening , but must move forward. 1st thing, serve the tenant, ( also bouncing checks is a crime )  speak with the tenant .

Checks have bounced, I've had wires reversed after the fact.

@Jay Taylor to bounce off of Darius, I would start by building a rapport with the owners and approach them as a person who is interested in your properties but also care about their wishes and hopes for the properties.

We actually did well; many houses in the area were bounced off their footings and destroyed.

I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of that's an expert and not bias (financial advisors who earn 1% of my portfolio).

@Ryan Ebzery I’d be cautious about Warwick as they have an aging population and some financial problems relating to pension obligations that are almost certainly going to mean even higher taxes in the future.They’ve been closing elementary and middle schools over the past several years and I just don’t see a lot of promising developments on the horizon.It’s not a hard no, if you can find the right deal, but I lean against it personally.Providence has some of the same issues but they’re more well known and some of the increased taxes are already baked in (such as different tax rates for landlords vs. owner occupants).I feel we’re in for more unpleasant surprises in the Warwick story and more tax hikes than Providence, and Providence has a lot more going on economically than Warwick by far so I feel it’s more resilient and will bounce back better.I like Cranston quite a bit but a lot of other people do, too, so prices there have kind of gone up quite a bit.

It is not how you start but how you bounce back from adversity so if your deals aren't working out there is light at the end of the tunnel just stick with it.

I'm partly done with the course and it'd be good to study with someone and bounce ideas off each other.

Anybody in Sacramento region wanting to meet up n bounce around ideas, network and strategies.

I am currently bouncing around to various banks in Houston to find rates, also checking in with some online banks to find the best interest rates.
