I got lucky, they were really cool, understood what I was looking for, didn't push properties I had no interest in on me and I enjoyed working with them. 

I had no idea that asking for money was illegal.

@David Song, I grew up in Romania, a country that printed money after our Revolution in 1989, a country that had no jobs, and I'll always remember one instance.

The bill that the House of Representatives passed (HEROS Act) had no Republican involvement, so it never had any chance of passing the Senate. 

They were not sec8 I had no agreement with the gov.

I've closed many single family properties that I had no financing contingency with loans to make the offer more competitive.    

I’m about to close on a property where the landlord only had no written leases.

That doesn’t answer your question about which states are landlord-friendly but I thought I’d let you know about the market here - not to scare you off, but just so you’re aware because I had no idea until I moved here.

If your Tenant did not give you written notice and the opportunity to repair, then he had no right to withhold rent and is in violation of the lease.I would stop the eviction action and proceed with small claims for a judgment.

Before I became a realtor I was searching for an investor friendly agent and met a few who said that they were but had no idea on how to analyze a rental property and in hindsight didnt give me any of the info I provide for my investor clients.
