Hey guys, I’m newer around the Conroe area and I’m looking to connect with fellow real estate individuals, Contractors, investors, etc.I’ve been an electrician for 10 years mostly in the commercial space, I’ve doubled in general contracting and project management in Utah, but have moved down here in search of better opportunities.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.

I don't mean to throw shade at my fellow Illinois residents, but I'm quite bearish on this state for the long-term. 

Just because some fellow investor includes it on her or his log, does not mean it flies - unless this investor was audited and won.

Fellow attorneys rate him 1.5 or 2.5 out of 5.  

Your tenants obligation was to pay you on Jan 1, so it doesn't matter if they paid someone else they still owe you...obviously details re: notice and dates all come into play here and from a practical perspective I'd work with the tenant and not move to evict over this.

I’m happy to be in a forum with fellow investors and people wanting to master real estate.  

The least states:"Tenant shall pay a "late charge" not in excess of five (5%) percent of the amount in arrears for each month the arrears remain unpaid if any Rent is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments.

After that, they sent a few messages mentioning they were working with a couple of probates and would get back to me.To date, I haven’t received anything, and my attempts to reach them have gone unanswered.

I’d love to hear from fellow self-managing landlords about the biggest lessons you’ve learned along the way—whether it’s handling difficult move outs, maintenance strategies, or unique ways to streamline day-to-day operations.
