I guess when you're buying 80k properties I wouldn't care as much either. but when each of your properties is $500k + you start to care a bit more about who takes care of it and how. 

My first station was in Kings Bay Georgia, where I picked up the book Rich Dad, poor Dad, which kick started my real estate career.

Seems to this old dog that we may never return to the ROIs (10-20+%) of 25-30 years ago for several reasons:1)There’s been and continues to be too much hype/content about real estate as an investment and much of it started when Rich Dad came out.

Are you offering full price to start off with? 

But even then, if it takes 8 weeks from start to finish, with my learning curve in between, I'll take it!

As soon as she started to fall behind/be late more than once, I'd not renew her lease especially if tenants aren't communicating with you.If there is extensive mold, tell her to remove her items so you can treat the property. 

I could start a course and start charging people "How to Not Lose Money in the Midwest"...lol.

We quickly put the house under contract and started looking for buyers.

I started with single family homes in my market, moved to turnkey in other markets and then to multifamily. 

As a side gig, I sometimes do this for residential real estate agents to include in their hand-out package.
