I would join your local REIA/landlord's association and try to meet and make friends with the SUCCESSFUL investors.

Ara,in my local market - ny long island, i decided to get my real estate license because there's SO MUCH MONEY in it, even now.many agents are struggling because they've become stagnant.when you do it, search long and hard for ULTRA SUCCESSFUL broker or associate brokers, with teams.

It's from the condo association, and is simply the yellow copy of a work order they made up.

I got a basic lease from my local landlord association, I've borrowed a couple of books on leases from my local library and included clauses that looked good, but I've yet to find anything specifically for students.Does anyone here have anything they use or can point me to a good resource?

There is a national apartment association.

You can find the data on the 45% to 50% expense numbers that I used through any of the large apartment/landlord associations.

But, not much on best practices for starting an association up.

I'm the CEO of NARREIA, the National Association of Residential Real Estate Investment Advisors.

So, I'm not too miffed about the money, because I'd gladly pay for a good seminar or course.The real reason I was mad is that I went to the Rich Dad Education program thinking it was a new program.Instead, it was the Russ Whitney program (which I have really bad negative associations with), hiding behind the Rich Dad name.

The data is available at any of the large apartment associations/landlord associations.Most new landlords start out reading some of the guru books and use the guru formulas, which don't include many of the actual expenses.
