Hi,I'm a first time poster who has been listening to the (amazing) podcasts and recently discovered the BiggerPockets library.  

When I discover the problem I will post again here.

I took the online course, studied for a couple of weeks, and passed on the first attempt.

There are a lot of landlords who are not very choosy with tenants, as you have discovered.

Problem is that CapEx being what it is, you may not discover this fact until a few years in ...I like the mindset and practice of buying a property that would work as either a flip or a rental since it gives you multiple exit strategies, but I have to agree with others on this one ... unless there is an established historical track record for excellent appreciation in this neighborhood over the long term or some other catalyst where you are VERY sure the property will appreciate long term very well, then this property does not work out well as either a flip or a rental.

Only discovered Grant Cardone through a friend a couple months ago but it seems like a great opportunity so we bought tickets.

I've been studying bigger pockets and their recommended books for the last year and specifically moved to waco to start a second career.  

I wrote this post a few weeks ago, you'll likely be able to relate:Driving for dollars – Learn from a firemanOne of my best friends is a fireman and the most fascinating thing I learned from him is their version of “driving for dollars” study method.

Did you study your state landlord tenant regulations before you decided to go into business.

I'm interested in discovering more niche markets that are under-marketed to......Like maybe 70+ year old with large homes..... maybe the want a smaller place with less upkeep, maybe they want to buy a RV and travel.
