Everything I've been learning about Real Estate sounds exciting and I look forward to learning more and later start to invest in Real Estate.

The tenant moves out on good terms, owes nothing and you refund them the $1000 you got from the seller.3 weeks later the tenant sues you for $500 and says there deposit was $1500 and you illegally witheld $500.  

I'll be back mid march, so I should be able to go to the meeting later that month.

Just for some extra money to later invest?

This way you won't have any occupancy issues later on.  

If you plan to act, I'd probably do something sooner rather than later.

They told me about it later.

I am particularly interested in rental properties as well as commercial real estate later in the future.I am currently shopping around for my first rental property (duplex) which will double as my first home purchase ever.

It is both cheaper and, should you choose to become a broker later, much better "real world" preparation than the additional 45 hours of class (IIRC, salesperson is 45 hours while broker is 90 hours).

I wonder why they didn't hold the event a bit later in the evening, or on a weekend.
