I guess I will play the role of devil's advocate here, not to beat you up but to give you an alternate viewpoint to consider. x32 $50k properties does not sound like passive cash flow or freedom to me, it sounds like a job, and a darn tough one at that.

Some people just like to take advantage and play the victim I guess.

In my area only the guys with deep pockets play the trustee sale game.

I am a complete beginner, I've been VERY slow to get my head in the game, but I have spent the last five weeks inhaling anything and everything on this site, books, podcasts, et al as I learn how to play the game.As way of introduction, here's a very small snippet of my origin story:I left the US Air Force in 1999 where I was the chief meteorologist of the Armed Forces Network.

No guarantee that there is a metaphorical Jack Smith who happens to have that hypothetical client, but you want to play the probabilities a little bit.Birds of a feather absolutely flock together in real estate, so serious no nonsense "let's do it" realtors with all their ducks in a row tend to attract that type of client and those types of connections to other realtors.

Not sure if I should still invest in a multifamily  by Troy Upstate Ny, because it is not a Landlord Friendly State and protects bad tenants  from being evicted right away in 2-3 months like you can in PA or CT..My Fears & Concerns Are:I get bad tenant who knows how to play the system to delay the eviction process, may even purposely breaks things in apartment and state not paying rent till all things are repaired and then does not open door when someone comes to repair the problem all a scheme to to delay the eviction process up to 2 years in some cases as I have heard of horror stories.Question:1) Should I buy multifamily  elsewhere like PA or CT which have laws in place to evict BAD tenants fast within 3 months2) Should I still consider investing in upstate NY if I find a good deal despite the laws that protect bad tenants, if so WHY ?

Rott's make pitts look like child's play. The

Sometimes they play the "oh, you're too poor to afford this" card to try to get you to make a rash decision.

You're doing all this polishing to start to play the part of a pro.

However, I'll play the odds like a Vegas casino and bet on the house in the long run.As I've stated many times here and elsewhere before: plan your work, work your plan and don't plan the results.
