These people harrass my women tenants with name calling and sexual innuendo - I have written to the owner many times about the BS with his tenants but not much seems to change.

The interview process goes both ways - you expect him to show you houses etc, but he expects you to actually pull the trigger and buy something.Have you fulfilled your end of the expectations?

The corporate life is becoming very monontonous and way to political these days so I am taking the plunge to learn a bit more about REI to hopefully someday (soon) make a leap and fulfill a dream.My experience is limited to a few books, some great reads here on the BP forums, growing up in a DIY family (so I am pretty confident in basic carpentry), and priding myself with common sense.

My intentions aren't to bring any hostilities because I want to work towards getting these concerns addressed and hopefully in time fulfilled.

If you come up with a vision and a plan to fulfill that vision you can achieve it.

I haven't heard of this before, but I recommend fulfilling all your obligations.FHA are explicitly NOT for investors, and I'm not sure if you could have a second, non-family member on title - especially with a split interest.

I wouldn't enter into a financial partnership with a GC simply to fulfill this requirement.

I so look forward to connecting with others in the real estate community to learn and share.By getting into real estate investments, I know that I will not only make a better and more fulfilling life for myself and my family, but I will also be a role model and possibly have a positive impact on the neighborhoods that I grew up in (war zones-we'll see).Right now I am so excited, maybe too excited, to jump right in.

I just thought you could have your broker's license, then be an agent (with a broker's license), and then once you fulfill the years of experience requirement, you'd be an active broker.

It may be because I have only been investing 5 years or so, but I have been having a very difficult time with property managers fulfilling my expectations (perhaps theyre to high), but I know it should not take 2 months to fill a duplex in a highly rented market (just for example in my personal situation).
