@Phyllis Davenport OK I just noticed you are a newbie; let me add that it is risky and even experienced operators can lose their shirts!

There was a recent post here about a guy complaining about how much his property manager charges to send a letter, $45, 20-some posters chimed in that it was crazy and a rip-off, and then finally one of the most experienced property managers here explained that the price charged really involved personally sending certified mail from the post office, actually scheduling a trip involving the inevitable waiting period for getting it done, tracking the return receipt, logging all the information for use later in court if necessary.

I am curious what type of things have all of you both experienced and new investors done to get time with somebody you want to learn from? 

You just lost $1700 because you didn't want to buy someone more experienced than yourself a beer and pick their brain...Anyone want a free beer from me?

I Need advise/opinion from the experienced people on my next move.

Has anyone actually experienced the bank doing this?

I’ve studied continuously and am constantly striving to learn more, I don’t have much to bring to the table at this moment but I would greatly enjoy someone more experienced in this world hearing me out and giving me some constructive criticism on the subject.

I would always encourage new investors to find experienced professionals to work with as they navigate their way into this type of investing.

We are toying with the idea of asking for a couple grand off the purchase amount to help mediate the water problems.Would love to hear from the wiser and more experienced.
