If America continues to buy into this nonsense, which has been the trend over the last 6 years, then landlords will have supreme pricing power and be able to buy rentals for less and less.

I plan on joining a real estate mentoring club once I return to my hometown, and continue to prepare myself as much as possible over the coming months.Some general questions that I have:1) What are some things I could do to prepare myself in order to hit the ground running?

Most of the homes need work, that you know low income buyers will not have the funds to perform..The result is the homes continue to go down hill, and continue to drag down the neighborhood.It's a viscous cycle funded by tax dollars.

Many are not looking to sell right now, and some want 5 cap numbers on their properties, but every time I make a contact I always ask them to allow me to continue to market to them.

I have already closed on the property and have been using this thread for continuing questions for people that have helped so far.Maybe I will start a new thread for this repairs question (how easy is it to get the tenant to pay for a repair they want that is above normal wear and tear?)
