Thank you friends for your input.I spoke to one of my attorneys yesterday and he said that I don't have to return the security deposit and the tenant is also responsible for a month of lost rent.I was just trying to avoid any ugly situation and offered my tenant half of his security deposit back. 

I have friends and family that are interested in getting involved, but i want my first deal to be on me to prove myself first.

Hi BP,I could really use some friendly advice from another wholesaler out there. 

There is this house in my friends neighborhood, nice colonial nice neighborhood and typical nice people.

Can  anyone help or recommemd an investor friendly agent?

A friend of mine did 123 flips last year, it's definitely dead. ;-) No just kidding.

In Chicago, a VERY tenant friendly area, if a tenant expresses that they have vacated the property, it is considered landlord possession at that point.

The midwest (where I grew up) has more cash flow friendly property. 

This past experience really got me interested in real estate.I travel a lot for my current job, which I enjoy, but I hope to one day have the freedom to create my own schedule, wealth, and be able to have more time to spend with my family and friends.
