I will say that I have written these agreements, and it is quite fulfilling to look down when you're done and see the finished project.

Welcome to the site @Emmanuel Jeanty Bigger Pockets is the most innovative and educational site available to learn about real estate investing.Wishing you the best!

There are plenty of people who will walk you through the business for free -- read the education section of our beginner's guide for more info -- http://www.biggerpockets.com/ubgGood luck.

We, as well as our wives, have recently stepped up our efforts in our real estate investing education, and look forward to making our first deal as a team.

Pay them fairly and educate them as to how to handle their own finances and make wise investments to increase their wealth.

They are not educated or do not care to be educated. 

Find a strategy that you love, educate yourself on it consistently, and surround yourself with people who are already doing it.

For the check lovers and my less educated tenants (the money order crowd) I went to  www.Ipn.intuit.com and invoice them via email each month, it is .50  a transaction.  

If you're brand new to this industry, I suggest taking time to 1) educate yourself about the different aspects of real estate investing (which I am still doing) and 2) begin networking and connecting with people on here.  

 @Steve Babiak thanks for the education.
