I have a good friend I visit out in Loudoun County (Hamilton), such a beautiful area.

I'd click the "•Visit Your Local SCORE Office: Make an appointment with a mentor and talk face-to-face or attend a business workshop."

I can assure you that that is NOT true!

You may need to sign up for the pro basic account, but I assure you, it's well worth it.

Enjoy your travels, and especially your Texas visit.

No one wants an eviction on their record, put something in writing assuring them of the fact they have a right to their deposit if the place is in good shape and let them know you expect rent or will evict.

If you ever visit, we should chat.  

One tip that I picked up here is while you are starting out and saving money for your investments, start driving / visiting areas you would like to invest in so you get a feel for prices, rents , house conditions etc, and visit and look at lots of homes and open houses so your eye get used to looking at repairs / upgrades that are normal in a particular market.

I started this way because I did not want to invest 2k for boot camps as well.Also visit BP file place for basic contracts and other MH business related documents http://www.biggerpockets.com/files

It just screams tasteless.While I understand that most investors are doing this to a lot of homeowners and do not have the time to visit with each one of them.
