If he flat out refuses to get his own power after talking with him, you've got to take action.  

During the last 2 months, I've been taking action while learning.I found a property that looks interesting to me and I was hoping those with knowledge can weigh in on this.

Keep taking action and try to accomplish it anyway.

If you’re buying real estate at a discount as an investment, the price changes will not affect you the way it would a typical consumer that buys a house for his family at the top of the market and then watch as that value goes down and now they’re upside down with their mortgage.

So to start, I am somewhat new to real estate investing as I have yet to close my first deal, but have been an avid consumer of all real estate investing knowledge for over a decade, and have recently decided what better time than now to really get actively involved in investing in real estate.

To make a long story short, their actions lead me to believe something was't right, and that is why I asked the question.

Call local for rent signs and see if they are looking to "add to their portfolio", make sure your CL ad is worded in the language an investor speaks, and use postlets.com.What kind of action have you had?

I just hope I can turn all this knowledge into action soon, but I feel like I have such a long way to go before I'm ready to jump into something.Thank you to everyone out there who shares your knowledge and experience.

I then am aware that if I do not contact the tenant for action, I will ultimately be responsible for payment of the bill because the PROPERTY is owned by me, not the tenant.
