But you're right too, an unmotivated guy is not the guy to have, I can spot them in minutes, how they carry themselves and get ready for a job.

I know I could really try to negotiate and find someone who might be in a tight spot.

But the biggest mistakes newbies make is not understanding the valuation process, being able to spot a decent deal and then moving on it.

Don't fear the tenants or let them control you.I bought some buildings in a nice area but the buildings were older.The units were on the verge of turning into a bad area or staying a good one.I banded together with other landlords and we got the bad element out.We have Glocks,shotguns and everything else.I don't care who it is if they come on my property they better not try anything.We have made police reports of suspicious people,tenants trying to steal cable,power,etc.Once the scum know they have a light shining on them they crawl away to another area to go hide under some other rocks.So do not be intimidated.My place is cleaned up real well now.
