If so, then why would you want to learn from that type of person? 

Tenants have been a little bit of a litter bug leave before belongings and leaving personal belongings like it's storage what would be the best way to approach them about and enforce to keep clean and no personal belongings

Dealers/movers definitely know what they can get, and private sellers follow suit so you'd have to be motivated/connected AND be able to move fast to find a fair deal on a decent 'newer' used manufactured in the first place.I'd probably go new 75% of the time vs what I've been able to find price wise, used, personally..

This is completely up to you, If an individual came around with perfect credit and met your other income requirements I assume you would rent to that person.

HOWEVER, I do personally make over $100k/yr cash flow from 16 properties here.

Nobody has ever regreted buying a quality property.

 I personally never listened to him.. what was it that you liked about him ? 

but it takes time and effort - like going to the market IN PERSON, and setting up a team IN PERSON. 

Only the person running the club chooses potential investments.

But since that is the choice you have made: I don't know what it is like in Pueblo; but in Mesa County where I live there is a person on staff that walks you through the process and the necessary paperwork that needs to be filed (they don't fill it out for you - just provide the steps).
