(I can email you a strong lease agreement to review if you want)You may also want to take pictures of the damage done to the property and bring them with you to court.

I am looking forward to reaching your upper levels of political and market awareness.I recently read the book "The Simple Path to Wealth" and the idea that I got out of that was to invest always and to stay strong (and in a strong financial position) to be able to weather the drops in the market that inevitably occur. 

@Kirsten KnightenWelcome to the site.Sounds like you are new to real estate investing.I strongly urge you to look into becoming an agent if you wish to connect buyers and sellers together and earn a fee or commission.Not only is it a much smarter, more lucrative and more productive way to earn it will also insure you never get yourself in any trouble over possible unlicensed brokerage activity.

Help is available and there are always buyers for strong deals.

I only wish I had found and acted upon earlier my strong desire to be a Real Estate Investor.

Ypsilanti is a pretty strong rental market, better tenants than Detroit, for sure.  

Hopefully you will have no trouble finding one that support you with strong staff, marketing and training.

I've gotten some strong negative responses to investing in Reading/Easton IRL so I appreciate the encouragement. 

I strongly suggest you contact a Florida attorney.

I strongly suggest you stay put because knowing people is the foundation of being a Realtor.
