I'm looking to get a better broad picture of what is involved with being a landlord, and would obviously also like to pick your brain about the process and lessons you've learned.

., buy him lunch and pick his brain.

@Erik WeinsteinA nice flip, I really dont know the market here. or what areas to look for, I was hopping that I could meet up with someone here so I could pick there brain a little  

I am eager to learn and I have been listening to pod casts so I decided to get to the next step and sign up to pick the brains of the pros! 

Do any of you have experience in this area that would let me pick their brain over lunch(my treat)?

scott carson makes a great point, about focusing on non-judicial foreclosure states this will save you a ton of money and brain damage.  

I do know there is a LOT of new building going on about 15 minutes from me in the 400k+ in homes, but when i drove through the areas to see if i could find a builder to maybe pick his brain for business they had multiple realtors already at the model homes and such. 

I do plan on getting a 9-5 job after graduating which will support my living expenses for the time being.Well, that was kind of scatter brained but I think I was able to introduce myself in a somewhat organized way. 

I made a post on Facebook, there was A LOT of pain, stress and lost weekends involved; 9 to 10 hour days, 6 to 8 hours on weekends (I could of studied more but I essentially maxed out my brain's capacity to make things stick).

If it's lack of tenant-brain: you can't fix stupid.
