"Can we get together" for a half hour or so, so I can ask you a few questions.As you learn, feel free to offer your time doing some leg work for them in exchange for some education time or help analyzing a deal.You can plant signs, address envelopes, drive properties, etc...there is a ton of legwork/detail type of work an investor would be willing to have you do...you just have to find out..."

The appraisal came in just right for the value of the property, but the rent figure this guy came up with was so far off even my lender called me and said, "I nearly fell off my chair I don't know where he got these numbers."

would this be a business loan for the property or a personal loan if you live in the residential portion out back.MLS: T2808815 if you need more specifics.I am thinking a four chair salon brining in $4400 and either rent or live in the residential portion.

I was seeking a 2 bedroom apartment of an A-grade without paying an arm and a leg, and Bayonne was the perfect spot to find those kind of rentals.

If you fail and quit, then you go home with your tail between your legs. 

And state that you'd obviously do a lot of the leg work, you'd just need to be shown what to do.6.

I would think the relationship would allow you to talk to them and advise they should keep large items or items that can damage the house (I.e chairs, yard decor, etc.) inside to prevent any damage to the house.

I think I am becoming a fan of rigid plank vinyl and providing tenants with felt furniture feet pads and checking up that they installed them on beds, dining chairs etc if you allow pets...leave a pet indoors too long and they have to go somewhere.

Now I'm wondering if I have any leg to stand on to go after the real estate agent for that 5,000 or her BAC? 

Real estate investing is a pretty forgiving world and the average person can still make money even with some pretty big mistakes.Buckle in, keep your arms and legs in at all times, and enjoy the ride!
