We continued to live with our parents, save money, pay down our $50,000+ student debt bills and more than anything learn and invest in real estate in our hometown.However, after 18 months of relentless studying, networking, calling, door-knocking, and driving for dollars everywhere in Indianapolis we identified two duplexes via our newly built network that finally fit our goals (and that we could afford).

I know which tenant caused the damage, as it was caused by their furniture rubbing back and forth in a certain spot.Each of the tenants gave me a portion of the security deposit.
