My name is Nicolas, I have make real estate investing part of my life about 1 year and half ago by reading, attending seminars, meetings and learning and since January actually started TAKING ACTION with my marketing, business plan, leads, etc etc FYI - I am suppose to close my first wholesale deal next week but it has been a tough one with an eviction - lawyers and a lot of negotiating so I can't celebrate yet!

How has your life changed since that first investment, is it where you imagined it would be?

I've been a local assessor for more than 30 years and have gotten numerous calls from the IRS verifying the land and building assessments for tax filers using this method.

I have compassion for single mothers, but life is such a struggle and it is troubling when you have to evict.

Vacancies, maintenance, nasty evictions, new roofs and appliances and many other expenses are just a part of life with being a landlord.

Life is easier on the payer and you get your payments when they are due.As for the grace period, nearly all legal documents state “due on or before”.

hi lyndsey,you can make your life easier and get a NO interest checking account for the security deposit. problem solved.that's what i did.

I've been studying REI in one way or another since '05 - ready to actually apply the knowledge now and grow my business.In the last couple of years, I've also come to the realization with my marriage, the birth of one kid, and another soon on the way, that this whole "life" experience will end someday and I'd like to enjoy it as much as possible with my growing family.

I just see myself as someone with bigger goals than just waiting for my Union pension at the end of my life.

I've lived in NJ all my life.
