Tenant agrees to not mount flat screen televisions or other heavy objects to walls, ceilings, or woodwork without prior written permission of Landlord.

Because we have other “like kind” properties that we have never received a request for this (even though they were also just inspected last year for the same company for same reason), we were surprised and even question the validity of this recommendation (actually it is a demand sent to us in the form of a recommendation) altogether.

My other three properties are in Charlotte.When I did a search for "Best cities for real estate investors" I get the following list from Realtor.com:----------------------Those focused on getting a healthy flow of rental income from the get-go might want to cut this list out and put it on the wall: Cleveland, OH, at 11.1%Columbia, SC, at 9.7 %Birmingham, AL, at 8.5%Pittsburgh, PA, at 8.4%Milwaukee, WI, at 8.4%Cincinnati, OH, at 8.2%Memphis, TN, at 8%Greenville, SC, at 8%Tampa, FL, at 8%Philadelphia, PA, at 8%---------------------I'm not sure I want to trust Realtor.com to help me decide where to invest.

I am panning on buying a 2 flat in the Logan Square area (short sale). 

No joke, I was flat-broke and my credit was in ruins when I started.  

I did exactly what you're doing, I got licensed to get access to the MLS, I had no intention to get listings; initially, I made the mistake of working with a Remax broker, it costed me around $300/month and I'd had to share a %  of the commission of whatever deal I'd do.If you're looking to do only RE investing and/or wholesale, look for a flat fee broker and save the monthly fee to get leads to build your business.

I'm worried this will grab the attention of other investors who have an agent that is on the ball and I will miss the deal altogether.

I am at the point where I wanted to take a leap of faith, sell one of the 4, and venture into a multifamily for cash flow...But I recently chatted with a friend, who bought 56 units in Phoenix over a course of 4 months in 2014 for $2M total, and from his tone, it sounds like hell....So I came here to hopefully get educated on how/where to invest in Class C, or is it a trap that I should avoid altogether...

I am on 2nd floor w $300k, my neighbor has $700k... the guys on 3 floor bought theirs last year $3m in cash last year... theirs is flat, so twice of my size... hence the price 

One option that we have when we move is to move into my mother in laws 3 flat and live rent free if we update the 3 bedroom (with full basement) unit.
