My clients lost $0.00 from moratorium, THAT's what a GOOD PM is supposed to do, make solutions, be a Master of the art of tenancy, NOT hide from tenants. 

I am not sure if you are looking for notes or not, but I would add more art to the wall in the bedrooms.

Hey @Art Shalomov!

"The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" by Brandon Turner"The Art of Finding Deals and Flipping Properties" by J Scott"The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Mark Ferguson"Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money" by Dolf de Roos"The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary KellerIn my opinion, you also need some hand on experience without taking huge risk.

Each week I generally drive around the area to check out the exteriors of the properties to make sure the tenants are cutting their grass and there's nothing out of the ordinary to be concerned with (no signs on the door, etc).In the beginning of the month I head to the banks (I work with 3 of them) and also deposit checks and do bookkeeping.I may take a nap in the middle of the day, watch some "Pawn Stars" (to learn the art of negotiation) or go grocery shopping or other errands.Some weekdays or weekends I will show properties if I'm renting them out.I will also gather lists of properties to view, and go check them out.Periodically I need to take a tenant call and call a contractor to get something repaired.I would say I probably work on average 2-3 hours a day, sometimes more, sometimes less.

REI is an art, not a science. 

Even this article calls it "more art than science".Having an engineering background, I was never comfortable with "more art than science".  

I just hope the city of Atlanta doesn't f- it up like most everything they touch.I remember when the MARTA rail line first opened and used to take it every morning, when I was a car-less student at Tech, to the farthest northern station- the Arts Center- then get on a bus to get to my summer job.
