I had a tenant deliberately damage a property and they claimed "abuse".

Wholesaling deliberately circumvents license laws designed in part to prevent abuse. 

Yesterday JP Morgan issued a client note stating they see the pandemic dissipate in the next 40 - 80 days as vaccine supplies rise dramatically.

IE  you can not deliberately underestimate the value of a property to obtain a great purchase price. 

I told them that was a BIG mistake and I didnt feel they were honest, and possible deliberate, as they didnt even follow the contract on collecting the $500 earnst money on my behalf. 

I get closer to them, I more narrowly resonate with them, in more detail.Here is what the rest of the planet does... they DELIBERATELY step away.

Deliberately have a few challenges in your screening process - it will weed out "entitlement mentality" problems4) Allow payment plans, but create system to track when payments due, so they don't keep falling further behind You will need to call them on due dates or they will fall further behind Be prepared to give a strong NO when asked if you will change rent due dates to "make it easier" for tenants to pay rent based upon their SSI or paycheck dates.

The idea is you buy when nobody else is buying.Carnegie or JP Morgan said you buy when there is blood in the streets… when there is chaos.

Take the time to be deliberate and intentional, but also have fun with it. 

Be deliberate and calculated in your search knowing that the market is still hot and the competition is fierce.
