@Royce TalboYou are an Inspiration!

I recently attended your webinar on House Hacking and it was really eye-opening and inspiring.

I am very eager to start on a new career and am grateful to be part of such an inspiring and helpful community.

@Brentin Hess loved your podcast, really inspiring stuff and partnering when the time and deal are right.

Many of my clients successfully investing, the story of one just came to mind, hopefully it will inspire you and help you make the next move:  https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/investing/self-dir...

I follow my investments with a spread sheet, as I have clear goals and objectives and it is a great inspiration to watch them quickly manifest.

@Rochelle Wilkinson, you truly do inspire me.As a newbie, I love to read stories such as these.It can be a scary thing going into this as a newbie just hoping to get decent tenants.For the most part I do have decent tenants, but those in one unit occasionally try to push my buttons, which I have done well to stand firm, but I cannot tell you how many times I almost feel like throwing in the towel because of these 2.I purchased the property and took over their lease, so they have been on property for a lot longer than I have owned it and try to push their weight around, not to mention I am a young investor so I think that sometimes makes them think they can push me around.Hanging in there though and thanks to people like you and all other BP members I can go about this not feeling so alone or like a fish out of water.Mistakes Landlords make (This may have already been mentioned, but these 2 I would say have been top on my list as I have not had issues with the screening or tenants paying):Skipping the routine inspections.I currently undertake 4 inspections during the lease term (move-in inspection; 2 in the course of the lease term and a move-out inspection).Some may deem this over-kill but for me, it ensures that I catch and address any issues sooner rather than later.Treating tenants like your buddies.You must be able to separate business from personal and know when to draw the line else tenants will walk all over you.

@Andri Artayudianto   my mentors in business were not in the RE business at all...But they all had very good points that created thought and provided me with inspiration to succeed.

I revently say a video about a woman who built a tiny Lord of the Rings inspired hobbit hole BNB and did a little digging.

I'm taking my inspiration from the OG Bay Area Rental Arbitrage Ninjas Al Williamson and J.
