Because I’m 57 and I don’t want to waste more time of what I already wasted with the wrong actitud.

It’s likely a waste of everyone’s time to request it if seller is not offering it.

Since your tenant isn't responding, it might be time to consider more formal steps.

I'm a newbie looking to get started in real estate investing.

If you are looking to build quick capital and another full-time job, then flipping may be the answer...if you are looking for a slightly more passive approach and looking to build that long-term wealth, buy&hold'ing is maybe a better strategy.I've found introspecting on where I want to go long-term has helped clarify my short-term path...The beautiful part is Chicago offers all options at affordable prices general speaking compared to other metro areas.

Hi Everyone,I’m a retired attorney with many years of real estate experience.

Connect with @Nick Tang in North Jersey to join a great real estate investing association (REIA)

One thing that is apparent in real estate is you don't get far alone!

A good mentor would take the time to make sure you understood what he was talking about, how to apply it and answer your questions.  

OK folks I have real world experience at this.
