I tried using turn-key guys to get into a dozen markets at the same time - it didn't work out well as I was entirely dependent on them for results and most were just marketing arms with no muscle or real intention of delivering what they had promised.

Any help or guidance you can share from your experience is very much appreciated.Hi @Ali Boone, we love muscle beach (Venice Beach)!

I think our biggest issue we are facing at the onset is to locate a great Mentor locally or to join Lifestyles Unlimited and/or Rich Club or will all 3 be beneficial to us?

I'd love to collaborate on setting it up.  

Brianna:Banks will try to muscle you into submitting your taxes along with your mortgage payments - here they'll also try to sell you {life/disability} insurance to cover the mortgage in the event you are hit by a bus - however, they cannot force you to pay your taxes through them.

Rick is spot on, set objectives that are measurable - i.e. 5K in monthly revenue in 12-18 months; 1K in monthly NOI in 18 months, etc.  

As this is a tenancy at will, there is no contract that states they are managers, and whether there was ever an oral agreement or not, her family has never been designated any managerial duties from the onset of their tenancy.

I plan on setting up an appointment early next week to get this resolved ASAP.

My partners and I also differ on setting goals and including specific criteria for our investments.  

This will give you good experience on setting boundaries and expectations on receiving rent on time, handling tenant concerns, handling deposits, etc.
