DM if you want me send you pics of your properties I know how that feels .  

I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

A tenant may try to befriend you so that you'll feel bad about kicking them out if rent is unpaid, etc.

Just wanted to make what is the first of many posts and say hello to everyone :) If anyone has knowledge of multifamily investing in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area (or is on a similar path), feel free to connect!

I feel like you've been given some awful advice in this thread.Husband and wife were both tenants.

Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

Does switching jobs feel right?

Quote from @LaTonya Clark: I can cancel the deal with no problems. yes, I feel like I am forcing this bc I want it so bad.
