Rich Dad Poor Dad.For over a month now, I've been diving in daily to anything real estate I can get my hands on. 

That is very poor business practice.

If you have construction knowledge, that may be a plus for a value-add deal.Without any capital or experience, it is going to be hard to lock up a property, so my advice is to partner with someone.We do this occasionally with talented individuals who want to add value to the sponsorship.

I think you'll have a hard time buying properties in Phoenix using the rules of thumb most people tout here, especially a straight 50% expense ratio across the board without individualizing it like Wes mentioned

If you reacted to every threat a tenant made you would be in the poor house or out of business.

Private loans from individuals

I have been trying to read more and more and I just finished the books Rich Dad Poor Dad and Set for Life.

There's duplex up the hill near Safeway that seems rundown/poorly managed with good rehab/value add potential.

I do agree with you, anything an inexperienced individual like myself can find on Zillow is probably still on market for a reason.

I am trying to purchase a property that has 7 units, one of which is a 4BR, with 4 individual leases.That is fine for now, but my property management says that they will not place a  new tenant in that unit because of liability.So my question is what are my options on this when one of those tenants moves out?
