It's my woman, 9 month and me in the house so there's no option to house hack right now.I had the perfect opportunity to have a solid start in real estate but at the time I wasn't thinking this would be something I want to get into.

I've seen a lot of posts about people eager to start an RAL and wanted to share some of the costly lessons I have learned and hopefully you can realize it before embarking on these projects.

Renter is a seemingly mature 50 year old woman with a 16 year old son, dad works away 2 weeks on/ off.

On the day of, I receive a call, a woman asks for me, then a man continues the conversation, says that he’s the guest, and that his wife made the reservation to the wrong address.

My partner and I are eager to embark on our first real estate venture by acquiring a long-term rental apartment in downtown Chicago.

While she was a very attractive woman, I politely declined and drove to the courthouse as fast as I could to file for an eviction.

I operate in 7 markets and in each market we have a quality control manager or runner, a cleaner with at least 2 backups, and a handyman/woman.

I’m eager to hear your experiences and insights as I embark on this exciting journey.

Woman power!

You're embarking an incredible journey.
