This proactive approach helps maintain the property’s value and keeps tenants happy.Informed Decision-Making: When you have a good grasp of how things work, you’re better equipped to evaluate the quality and necessity of work done by contractors.

Does anyone have advice or tips for me on what the best way for me to build my REI knowledge would be so that when I do have the adequate funds, I am already equipped with a very good base knowledge.

I’m licensed in NJ and the practice exams had identical questions to the actual test.

Folks who don't have a lot of money typically aren't equipped to handle the financing of land, running utilities, surveys, building, etc.

@Ria Lamb, there's quite a bit to this question that your professionals need to grapple with and should be equipped to grapple with.  

If they were identical and one wanted a parking block painted and the other didn't care, who is to say the seller has to take the one that wanted the work done at any cost?

I have more tenants than 99% of this board and have 0 knowledge  of their sexual preferences or identities.

And for the same reason we don't put table saws in our living areas (yet) its stupid to put dishwashers, mixers, blenders, and other noise generating kitchen equipment in the same room.

So, the seller was NOT AT ALL equipped to deal with the difficult tenant situation and the agent wasn't prepared to put a lot of effort into a troublesome deal that was of low value.

I was and still proud that Lane can upgrade his identity from BP single-family landlord among us into syndication.
