While I am still looking for ways to enhance my career, I figure it is about time for me to try something new.....By the way, I just put my one property on zillow....

I just started my journey on enhancing my REI education the beginning of this year.

Treat your tenants as all have the right to peace and respectful place to live. 

Tell him a move-out date that he must be out, and if you show up on that date, all his stuff is out, house has no damage and is in broom-swept condition, you pay him x amount of dollars to give you his keys and leave peacefully.

I am from a family of educators and very happy to see you doing something "on the side" to improve your lifestyle and financial peace of mind ! 

They seem to be enhancing the product as well.
