Now it's time to take action...and start the process toward your real estate success.My career began in 2002, along with my twin brother @Chris Edwards, and it has taken a blend of relentless effort, reading, studying, asking questions, seeking mentors, late nights...and plenty of good old fashioned hard work and much much more -- that's been the key.

I love the business model but remembered that I decided to invest in real estate so I could have at least some control or influence over the returns. 

Ended up offering cash for keys to get him out.

Access to apartments must be limited to those authorized to do so, and access to master keys must be strictly controlled.

I've been a software developer for 17 years specializing in Microsoft technologies and have my BS degree in Information Systems.  15 years ago I started learning about RE investing from a co worker that was embarking on this journey, and I read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quandrant, Total Money Makeover, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and other various "motivational/self-help books".  

My only 3 full evictions, my 2 cash for keys or my 4 please just leave and I'll forgive the back-rent types have been smokers.
