So i get a text from my newer upper tenant, she explaines her daughter Flushed a "toy" down the toliet, and its plugged.....after replacing the toliet, and bringing the plugged one home, i got out the hose, and a fishtape and recovered a 4 yr olds hello kitty!

I distinctly remember there were things they did with the hot water heaters, and they were advocating replacing the rubber hoses on appliances that use water (such as dishwasher, washing machine, etc) with some kind of metal hoses that are virtually indestructible.There was a goldmine of information about good preventative maintenance steps for rental houses...

Kyle, Great questions, I've coached over 1,000 investors through these types of issues, working for three years with Robert Kiyosaki which was like drinking from a fire hose as people faced these kinds of issues. 

I think I made a nice profit; I got more than 5-times my original investment I think I got hosed a little when selling, but the profit was still very good and the experience was worth it's weight in gold...Just stirring up the memory makes me want to go find another deal now and get to work again building a team and conquer another project!

There's nobody to tell us what trees to cut, what colors are acceptable to paint the home, when to mow our lawn, what kind of vehicles can be parked in the driveway, where to place our garden hose and trash can, etc.

I have liquidity from the previous business to invest and hopefully kick start this endeavor.Biggest challenge - I don't know this industry, I am coming from a completely opposite industry in the technology field.What I have, I think, in my favor, are colleagues from the RE industry with experience in both traditional RE sales (agent/buy/sell) but also experience in the REI side (one owning about 70+ properties and the other owning about 25 properties, both using their properties for passive cashflow)With an engineering/analytical background, my greatest fear right now is the unknown and I am trying to shore up that experience through reading and listening to others, but as I have already discovered, its like taking a drink from the fire hose - way more knowledge than I can consume in a short period of time.Questions I would pose to anyone interesting in providing some feedback -- Best way to look for that first opportunity?  

I feel like I'm drinking from the fire hose right now.

Hello everyone, I recently moved out of an apartment in the lynnwood area and got hosed by the landlord on the way out.

Do this uniformly; highest income  -OR- combined income, otherwise you violate Fair Hosing Regs

The seller says oh it just needs a new hose....
