Achieving a great cashflowing property, learning the process while executing, and great satisfaction of helping a family.

We had the same thought process when we started A Blind Pig.

We are submerged in the process of learning all the we can; reading the books, listening to podcasts, watching the webinars, etc. and want to know more so we can get started with as much information as possible.

Start small, refine your process, and use your network to connect with local investors and seasoned professionals for guidance.Good luck!

Maybe it's a processing fee, an application fee, etc?  

I imagine you’re right about the eviction and at the end of the day it will cost me some money, but at least I’ll learn the process and how to better screen tenants (I inherited this one).If you ever get up to Boston let me know.  

Once you have a deal they will guide you through the process and even help you attain the funding with out coming out of pocket or using your personal credit.

For your first rental property, starting in an area you're familiar with can make the learning process easier, as you’ll better understand the market and can handle issues directly.

This process is probably a 1-2 year process.  

Any legitimate property manager will be able to handle the entire eviction process from start to finish.
