Most of the bad things concerning tenants have happened from inheriting existing tenants when buying a property.Any advice or experience on this issue would be greatly appreciated.I'm currently looking at a duplex for sale with existing tenants, trying to learn the ins and outs of possibly dealing with that issue.Thanks in advance.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

You can learn to do a lot with YouTube videos.

I'm particularly passionate about Orlando, Fl. and Tennessee.Outside of real estate, I enjoy working out at the gym, DIY projects, and going to the beach.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Sorry you are dealing with this, but it'll be a good learning experience and you'll be sharpening your skills. 

Lessons learned?

My learning is that I won’t do a renovation more than 1 time zone away.

But many remote investors (in general) are naive and do not take the time to learn the market and set up the systems and teams they need to invest wisely and manage their investments well.

It takes time to learn the nuances of the neighborhoods, but a good realtor can really help you.

Pay them $180 an hour and monitor like a mom, and both the owner and contractor will learn.
