Last month @Sharad Mehta was there.

I had a leak last year in the wall behind the bath tub and the stupid tenant calls Code Enforcement.

Hello everyone,I am a first time poster and relatively new to the real estate investing scene but I am kind of stuck on where I should take my next steps.A little about myself:I'm 25 and purchased my first property last year.

Just last night I was reviewing the numbers on Sandicormls.com.I am currently working on a model in excel and using DealCheck app.

Real estate is one of the last great free-market environments. everything is negotiable, and some providers are better than others, meaning they offer more complete/sophisticated service and response, wider marketing exposure, etc.I compete routinely against both higher than 5% and lower than 10% management rates and anywhere from one month's rent for a leasing fee, to half that. 

I've only listened to podcasts on my daily commute for the last couple months until recently.

As an aside, the tenant has also been several days late to pay rent for the last few months, but I am having a hard time faulting them due to the hardship from the increased utility bills.I'm not a shady guy and I want to make this right, I just don't know the best way to do so.

The property was seller financed and the last payment was paid for over a decade ago and we've been using the property for business since. 

I have been primarily focusing on the scottsdale area over the last year, and I am starting a new fix and flip project in a few weeks.  

BP had a great post on this last year, shared by @Brandon Turner BP Portfolio LoansGood luck!
