But roaches, much like teens, know where the food is and don't see the point in sticking around where there isn't any. 

This is where you put the visitors, the nanny or the teens.

i do admire the added funding resources aside from savings & conventional loans like hard/private money loans  -and the fastrack way to in fact generate profits from nothing, via  dishing out 'wholesale' contingency offers then upselling the crap out of the property - but like many has to be pointed out to newbies to BP, even with those a downpayment is required to invest. all in all, i'm appauled at the widespread connotation - often spun by mainstream media (ie, tv, internet) and the material they pump out, infomercials and all - that somehow people will 'discover' how they can make big money from no money. when in reality the underlying problem to me it seems to be the western norm to be making a decent salary (heck, even teens working at mcDs or whatever) and all but just be spending it day and day out but at the same time expecting somehow to get rich one day- without incrementally investing in a wealthier future any.how could adults these days chronically have no money, chronically have no creditworthiness, and *then* decide they want to start INVESTING?! 

We have 10 units (5 properties: 4 in Escondido, one near Mesa College).I am also new to BiggerPockets but we have been investing in real estate for 12 years (purchase to rent with positive cash flow) and my Mom did it when I was pre-teen and her estate (my step Dad) still owns and rents some of those properties. 

As a teen, the dreams of that 10 year old were being tucked away in the back of my brain in lieu of jobs that provided steady income and generous benefits.

As much as I appreciate the reference to the professional wrestler I emulated as a pre-teen, I will focus on my record and experience in housing court.

In my teen years, I fronted a thousand expecting something for nothing.

I am now running out of idea how to make the community safer as summer is on the way, with more teens in the area running around everyday, I am afraid the situation might get worse.

My recommendation is to substitute this place instead of FB/IG, and just educate yourself.In the meantime, since you are going to school, stay focused on your grades, and pick a career that you are passionate about, but one that'll generate some capital.As you mature, not only as an aspiring investor, but more so as a a teen going into adulthood, things will develop. 

You do the footwork, they can get a high teen return, and then you get a piece of the pie.
