NONE… of the REIAs in my city preach this any more… but they did… 4) why would the REIAs Abandon that “ MATURE INVESTMENT” advice?

It's a tough process, but you'll be so happy if you make it through.Your list will include things like: how to market, application screening, collecting deposit, moving tenant in, tenant pays late, tenant doesn't pay at all, tenant abandons property, tenant wants to add a dog, etc.The most likely thing to happen first is you'll need to market a vacant unit, so start educating yourself on that process now.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.
