@Michael Gayer JrHe still should complete them, plus W-9 which is the most important one.State taxes have nothing to do with it, it is for Federal (IRS) taxes.If he continues to argue - then I would not hire him.

Looking forward to networking with local investors and professionals in the area and continue expanding on my knowledge through BP.

-I can continue renting to the current tenant, replace with another if needed down the line, and before the 5 year mark, put it on the market and sell my option, keep the difference as profit.

But he has a lawyer now and states that because I sent him a lease extension before the Notice to Vacate, I'm legally bound to continue leasing to him. 

O, you can expect this behavior to continue.

I look forward to continuing to learn from you all.I currently run sales operations for a fast-growing SaaS company so the funnels and systems are what I build for B2B sales organizations so I appreciate them and look forward to structuring them in my own business.Joe

That's where I'm at, sort of frustrated because I've come to a point in my "self-education" in REI that I realize that the BRRRR method (if you want to get all or even all+some back out) ONLY works with downright exceptional deals....I am not discouraged by this, if anything, I'm more fired up to sniff out the deals, but man...it seems like it's gotta be WAY below market value AND be situated in an area in which upgrades will drastically increase the ARV for me to be able to make the refi work for me and continue reinvesting that money in more properties. 

I hope i can continue investing.

I’ve already learned so much, and want to continue learning so that I can mitigate my risks and be in the best position possible when it comes time for my first deal.
