install something like the ring doorbell, A surveillance system, post the warnings, Help the authorities catch this culprit. 

The number provided rings busy.

thanks for the input everyone, @rush wall, your absolutely right, we are in the process of getting financing set up first and pinpointing areas wed like to target.

You need to take consistent focused action every day, answer the phone when it rings and follow up and follow through.

I'm trying to minimize money out of pocket with wedding coming up.

The college rentals I had I required the parents to qualify and sign to be personally responsible   I also made it clear in the lease agreement I would be performing the repair and the hourly rate I would charge Each year I literally made thousands of dollars collecting money for damages in addition to the rent It really is amazing the damage colleges kids can do   Every time all I hear is tvs cash register ring lolOnly reason I sold was I moved out of state and don’t like dealing with PMs 

When I called TLO it was more like jumping through rings of fire.But if some folks DO have it, it means I have approached them wrong.

I gave Orkin a ring.

When I was interested in learning about real estate investing in 2015 I had a business that I owner operated, another business that I was trying to get off of the ground, planning a wedding, driving LYFT late nights to save extra money for the wedding, working out 1 hour per day.

Property #2 is our primary residence which we've owned for 16 years...we owe $178k and can sell pretty much as is for approximately $350-$370 OR  we could hold it and rent it out- for $2,500/mo...after running some numbers we 'd have a NET cash flow of about $200 which would be a good start towards our long term goal.
