Lots of young tenants come at their landlords gun blazing, entitled and demanding, and like all business relationships, that rarely works out well. 

The next meeting is on Wednesday, July 31, 2019 from 5-7PM at Hell n Blazes brewery in Downtown Melbourne.

You are blazing a new trail for those around you as to the “possible”!

fellow n00b here, so others can comment w much better lists i'd imagine.rich dad poor dad. personally not a fan of the format, but everyone seems to love this one. i read it in highschool but revisited it when beginning REI. despite the meh nature of the writing and anecdotes, there are a handful of principles and concepts that can serve as a sort of Copernican revolution to your outlook on finances, assets, REI, etc. protip: much easier to blaze through the boring portions and still pick up all the goodies when listening in audiobook format at 2-3x speed.multi-family millions by david lindahl was a great read for me. really helped me to dream big on the ultimate direction of my REI journey. i'm nowhere near the apartment complex stage, but many of the concepts bleed over to whatever angle your REI approach may take.ABCs of real estate investing was another beginner's guide that was helpful in orienting my thoughts. gary keller's the millionaire real estate investor is by far the most thorough, comprehensive, and helpful. like i'd mentioned above, i very much wish i'd read this one before getting our first deal. i'm in the middle of another that i can't remember the name of that deals w all the tax loopholes and provisions that REIs get to take advantage of. it's a solid one, but will be mainly used for reference in the future.out of what i've read so far, i'd suggest knocking out rich dad poor dad (again, on audiobook if you can handle that, will make the read much easier imo) and keller's book. orient your high level thinking via RDPD and get you a crapload of tools, charts, figures, ideas, etc. from Keller's nitty-gritty and incredibly practical work in TMREI.happy reading and happy holidays!

The seller financing topic should come up during the conversation with the seller based on their situation and the property and finally your situation.Rather than going in with the seller financing guns blazing, do you have an opportunity to partner with anybody for the down payment? 

Like many parts of the country, central and northern NJ are blazing hot markets.  

My name is Blaze, and I could refer you to a very knowledgeable mortgage broker who deals with multifamily investing.

The blazing fire not only rids me of the burden of storing their junk but it also offers me a soothing Therapeutic effect on my inner child seeing their belongings go up in smoke .

It is really easy to go guns a blazing and the, "what stops people..." can be misleading.  

Blazing trails for the rest of us.
