Localized knowledge for an agent or investor is needed to answer most of these questions.

Quote from @Henry Jay: Hello, me to real estate and look for knowledge in flipping and rental properties. 

His knowledge and expertise is great .

I"m not sure you could find a better group in terms of knowledge and support. 

Last thing, I would strongly consider consulting with a knowledgeable property manager or attorney once you have a copy of the current lease and all of the facts.

We weren't willing to take that risk.My wife operated our first home and after a few months we found a really solid knowledgeable manager who took over operations while still working closely with my wife. 

I can relate to where you’re coming from as I’m also new to real estate investing and actively working to build my knowledge and network.

He's a wealth of knowledge and we don't gatekeep.

The best part is the free CD is nothing more than a bunch of vague suggestions about how you can make all this money in real estate and vague bragging sessions about how he has been around so long and wants to give you all his knowledge before he croaks (paraphrased) Someday I will be completely immune to the crooks attempts at separating me from my hard earned money.

This is the best platform to further your knowledge of investing.
