Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

My private jet is taking me to the Amalfi coast this weekend so that I can come back on Monday morning to study to get my real estate license.

I have a great job right now, but studying to get my real estate license currently and have an interview for a property management position next week.

Proving my value and staying hungry is great advice. 

Not to be discouraging, but you need to do some more study before you dive into real estate, IMO.

You are protected up to $250 individually and $500 as a couple based on my understanding and opinion, keep the orders and the documentation that supports the timeline because you're likely to have to prove it several times but I dont think you have much to worry about. 

The burden of proof will be on you and most likely you will fail to prove that it would be arms length transaction if you decide to co-invest like this.

Called the cops, cops told us to take stuff out to the corner for the mystery tenant to take back and change the locks.We couldn't prove the agent had the only other key.

I went to college (studied engineering) and graduated at 21.

At 17 and with $290, I would start planning and doing a few things: I would stick with learning as much as I could here on BP for free, maybe joining some local RE groups and get to those meetings where I could mingle with them and get known, being 17 you have youth as both an advantage and as a DISADVANTAGE till people get to know and know you as a dependable dedicated man on paper and screen till you have successes under your belt you may be looked more as a liability as you are 17 so you must prove your worth more.
