I have super good credit, but mostly focusing on increasing my financial IQ.

But I’m willing to wager that with the same amount of effort and cash, you will be able to leverage the experience of professionals, to build something of your own that perfectly fits your financial goals, limits risk to you and your family, and is repeatable if you somehow lost it all just because you chose the “hard” route.

Our lease does state that if they fail to notify us of things needing maintenance and repair within a prompt manner they can be held financially responsible and We do require they carry renters insurance so I am wondering if it is something renters insurance would cover? 

Make sure they have to give updated business and personal financials once  a quarter or at least semi-annually to annually.

My first property was a complete and total disaster! 

I’ve been subsidizing the living expenses of my disabled mother for the past year - it’s a strain financially.

Using a cash advance to purchase might be okay if you have the funds or at least some of the funds and can pay off the loan immediately in an emergency, but I think it's a terrible idea and a recipe for disaster if there are no emergency funds available and you can't get financing or even afford insurance. 

When you were ready to purchase your 2nd, 3rd and so forth properties, what financial hurdles did you face and how were you able to overcome them?

But, charging someone who is financially making a difference with their income(rental housing) to their community in the first place is totally wrong and people in Oakland should put their foot down now to stop this before it gets out of hand worse then now.

Since I read the book, I have been assisting to different “Free Events” promoted by the Rich Dad Company, and this is where I was first exposed to “Real State” as a vehicle for financial freedom, but at the same time, I was enrolled in the Physical Therapy Assistant program.
