She moved out, and only a few months later I found myself having to evict my friend/other tenant for lack of payment and various other reasons (too much partying/noise, lack of cleanliness, etc.).

If you have that hustle, you will find that you can bridge a lot of relationships with other wholesalers and investors who don't have the hustle to grind out all the appointments.

Thanks a ton for asking questions and getting the gears upstairs grinding - I really appreciate your insight & guidance, as well as that of other BP forum members. 

Or worse, the neighbors will be complaining about loud noise, parties, drugs, etc. 

If one tenant stays and the other leaves, you can also toss out a tidbit about how they're going to have to deal with construction noises for the next month or so.I am sure there are other options, but there is one for you to think over.

Noises from upstairs will be a nuisance if you dont put an effort into preventing it.

If your goal is to not work the grind and work smarter rather than harder into RE, then you need to focus on education first.

If you know how to work the seams, they’re fairly easy with a scribe and grind method.

I don't necessarily have the capital to invest in properties myself, however, I'm looking to add value to every relationship that I create in some way, whether its grinding out analysis' or using my brokers license to get the most accurate information. 

Property managers are great later on when you have multiple properties as they can take some of the grind out of the sport, freeing up your time and head space for other matters.
