Saw one fourplex that was a great deal, but was a day too late.

Is is very easy to reduce or eliminate expesnses as well as risk when renting out a property.As investors we should always be looking into ways to eliminate risk as well as expenses.The first is to find a great not a good attorney a great one to handle evictions.When renting out cover your risks up front with huge deposits.don't rent to anyone your not 100 percent sure will care for the home and at the first sign of nonpayment of rent or not caring for the property give notice follow the rules and evict.If you give an inch to renters they will take a mile.You must not tolerate anything from your renters they are like small childern or puppies, always testing to see what they can get away with.If you let your puppy pee on the rug without punishment then it will get worse every time he gets away with it.If your renter is late serve a three day pay or quit immediately do not delay a minute......show them your serious about following the law and that you know what your doing.

Has anyone else noticed his absence as of late?

I found out late last week, that to move out, she sold the fridge, microwave, shed, playhouse (real property) all the draperies and refuses to give all the keys back (she said that she only had one key, she has given that back).

Has anyone dealt with Countrywide lately or know about their refi policy?

Finish documenting my Operations Manual2.

My advice is to finish your RN, keep your license current, whether you work as a nurse or not and forget about obtaining your degree.
