Since I've never dealt with previous tenants, I'm looking for some advice on the best way to move forward...Unit 1:- Studio Apt- I did a walkthrough last week and spoke to the tenant; he mentioned the only issues he's had in the past year and half is that the cold comes through the windows- He and the owner both confirmed that the tenant is month to month and paying $750, but so far the owner has not provided a lease.- The owner did provide proof of payment, and rent is confirmed $750, but always a few days late...Unit 2:- 1 BR- There was a language barrier, she didn't speak english, and I think she was afraid to open the door so I didn't get to tour it.

Finally, any advice on finding local, in-person meet-ups for real estate and investing? 

Also any experience, advice is highly appreciated!!

I think this is pretty normal for this climate but just want to see if others have any advice? 

Any advice or lessons learned from your experiences is greatly appreciated.Thank you.Marco

@Aaron LawsonThe best advice is to shop a few brokers in your market, and compare apples to apples.  

Appreciate any advice, thank you! 

Any suggestions or comments about pit falls we need to avoid or other advice?

It's all a matter of expectations and perspective.I know you will get some great honest advice from other members.

Thanks for the advice
