When you are telling them you are putting yourself ahead of them [maybe unconsciously] and they feel threatened and jealous and they are coming from a place of fear and thus say things disparaging or negative or stupid.If you were telling someone that had 100 units or 1000 units you would craft that message differently and their response would be different, probably more positive.Unless you really need their input, lips quiet, money talks.

Thanks for the response and words of wisdom!

I'm looking forward to gleaning wisdom from all you guys.

I'm looking for wisdom or advice on how to remove a tenant with limited damage to the property and return on investment. 

I'm not religious, nor am I espousing any religion, but:"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference".Anything I do is not going to change whether the economy takes a dump or not.

Looking forward to your guidance and wisdom.

The industry secret I’ve read before online is that the biggest names in finance wisdom- kiosaki , Ramsey etc , actually made more selling their books and systems than actually owning real estate and doing deals 

Against all conventional advice and wisdom, I've just quit my job.

Powerful words of wisdom !

I appreciate this community and all the wisdom!
