@Okey Lawrence  TREIA, Triangle Deal Maker Sessions, and a monthly Bigger Pockets get-together --that's a good combo of ways to cross paths with other investors in the area.

I understand you have to give that out so your tenants can make rent deposits but did she get any of your other information or was this whole scam pulled off with just the information you had to give out to collect rent without going to her door each month?

It used to be that paint makers would refer to their hardest-drying gloss oil-based paint as enamel, because it looked and glistened a bit like real enamel.

Because of this you can make really good money in it.

My goal is to accelerate this work and make real estate investing my primary income.

If there was a cafe or mini restaurant that's a money maker because everyone wouldn't have to go into town to eat.

I was hoping to make real estate a career and not just another one of my investments.

One of my favorite things about reading real estate investing blogs is that you get to hear a lot of various points of view, experiences, and opinions, so you can make really educated investment and landlording decisions based on the expertise of other investors as well as real estate professionals.I would also listen to real estate podcasts.

As for ownership I've also negotiated with non constructive sellers and sellers advisors so all I confirm is that the decision makers are there.  

I don't mean the vibrations, of course.
