You've come to the right place to find resources and connect with fellow REI'ers!

@Nefertari McClarity One of our real estate attorneys has his own title company and is a great resource.

Rental Housing Association (RHA) also regularly provides classes and resources for managing all this.Make sure whatever lease / rental agreement is written clearly indicates that it will terminate a month or two before your neighbor wants to come back.    

I other words, to be a valid company it must have typical financial resources to run a business.

@J Scott wrote a book on rehabbing costs and it is an excellent resource to have on your shelf.

Are you pulling the $1.5k rent estimate from an online resource, or from experience?

Bottom line is I don't often start new threads to ask these questions...therefore the number of posts I make goes down.Furthermore, when it comes to answering questions...I like providing people with references and resources more times than not rather than just my opinion.

The meetups were selling the Renatus education system, but I'm getting a pretty bad feeling about it, so I'll stick with learning what I can from here and other less expensive resources. 

I have to find my own deals on realtor.com AND zillow email alerts based on a filter.My low ball offers are much more likely to be given a serious look because i developed a relationship with the listing agent, my best resource to take my offer to the seller and make the pitch. 

Still, you can check online resources to find more information about the information you are looking for.
