Hello :)I am currently reading David Lindahl's "Multi-Family Millions", and in chapter 9 he discusses negotiation secrets. I am sure as most know, and some may not know, all emotions must be kept out of the negotiatio...

Plus, everyone has been distracted with Summer.

The reason I still take pictures is because it shows the problem areas better and it's easier to send copies to a collection agency or an attorney when going after the tenant.One last thing: I do not allow tenants to be present for a final inspection because they will try to distract you from things.

Given the facts and circumstances that you have mentioned, you'd benefit greatly by working on the stuff in your life that distracts you and is preventing you from reaching your goals.

Potential applicants , assuming they are serious, withhold nothing.PS: A potential bad tenant will infill your interview questions with additional useless information to distract you and redirect the interview, they are often sickeningly sweet, offer to do work for free, rave about how great they think the place is, brag about there gardening abilities etc. 

As a technologist, I am definitely interested in this stuff, but I do think it distracts a ton of would-be investors from actually getting out there and doing the work.

I plan to eventually get a second phone and turn work off to focus on family without distraction.

A side hustle would just be a distraction. 

Anyone can be a successful real estate investor if they have that kind of money coming in.Don't be distracted by others. 

It's a gorgeous house, but it was more emotional-driven and I got distracted from my usual pathWe went back to my first house but after a year and looking at my numbers, it actually is better for us to rent and get much more space and amenities so found a SFH to rent 10 minutes outside the city.
