We live in a college town, so we have always had the idea of rental income in the back of our mind.

I'm new to this site and just graduated from college.

I have previously visited a REICNY meeting but am not a member.

I'm almost 21 and real estate investment has been on my mind for years, since someone explained to me the concept of OPM.On the forefront, I'm a broke college student who (thankfully) works for herself as an eBay contractor in the antiques and collectibles business.

In my notice to tenants, I ask them to report what issues they are having that need my attention that they haven't mentioned previously.

After graduating from college a year ago I've been learning the ropes of real estate investing through this site, through various books (Rich Dad Poor Dad series especially) and some freelance work.As good as the books and online material out there are, I'm looking to work for an investor so I can learn the nitty gritty of the business and get started investing myself.

Right now, it's sort of up in the air as to how long a landlord must hold the tenant's possessions, and we must serve notice to the tenant and store items until the tenant replies or a "reasonable" (open to interpretation) amount of time has passed, which leaves landlords stuck with either a vacant property storing past tenant's possessions or a bill for a storage unit.6.

Turns out the previous owner who was long deceased somehow received a loan from the department of public assistance (obviously an expired program) against the house.

in the case of properties purchased at trustee sale, the new owner has no contact with previous owner holding the lien, how to get the payoff?
