I also really like the idea of building a brand that you could sell.

On a positive note we did build a new house to the specifications of a specific tenant. 

Yes, they do nickel and dime some but the are competent and communicative.

So I'm looking at only paying $600 a month to live in a house and build equity!

@Cole Bossert I think @Sarah Kensinger and others have touched on the biggest qualities, especially communication.

am working with them now and had the first policy (with Spinnaker) cancelled for nonpayment/late payment so we rewrote another policy (with Millenial) and having the same payment problem again but at least they are communicating that cancellation is coming. they want me to pay by credit card over the phone so the payment wont be late and cancelled again. but when i go to mycoverageinfo.com to check on status it shows its been paid.

Do you own the entire building and have other occupants complained of a problem? 

They have since moved on to a new manager that is in close communication with me to get the repairs done and SDIRA is even offering to pay me the missing rent for December that the evicted tenant never paid.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.
