Stuffed the carpet into the trash can and still almost had an asthma attack from the odor.  

Best words of advice I can give about any subject...Learn ferociously for a short period of time (always with the intent of applying the knowledge), take a few of the concepts you learn into the real world on a small scale to actually feel it and gain confidence, make a plan with short and long term goals and then attack it.

Evidently this is a touchy subject for some and they feel its appropriate to make personal attacks against members with different opinions.Regardless, I did a little further research, specifically on the topic of wholesaling in Ohio, which seems to be cracking down on certain practices.Below is a link to an email from Jeff Watson, a very experienced real state attorney in Ohio.

finished my reading and research and right now forming my plan of attack. i seriously want to not drag my feet on getting out there and start learning the niche!

Good luck attacking the Virginia market. 

In other words, defend yourself when you are being attacked, nip it in the bud then and there! 

What are the options and advice for a landlord who has a tenant who states that she has had a heart attack, and she is already late on 2 month's rent.

As I am starting with a clean slate, how would you all attack my situation if you were in my shoes? 

What would be a wise plan of attack as for acquiring a cash flow property in order to invest the returns on future rentals?

Again, this is not an attack on you, at all, nor your motives or what you are specifically loking for.For the rest of us, we want easy to convert, motivated leads, both qualtity and quality.
