Now with a house almost paid off and the ability to ingest YouTube videos as well as blogs, I've decided this is the time to learn all I can and move into real estate.

I've studied several YouTube videos and the process seems quite achievable, however my concern is that many of the products ask for "no countertop use" for up to a week after application. 

There is a police report and video evidence. 

GaryVee often talks about becoming the digital mayor of your town by creating videos interviewing local public figures or small-medium business owners in your area.

After watching YouTube videos on finances and investing, I knew that I wanted to diversity my portfolio with more rental properties ( got my first rental in GA at 23).

Casually ask about owner financing.

when i have watched videos about the 50% rule. why does he always include taxes into the expenses part,  then he subtracts the mortgage from the other half which includes the taxes again.

Place signs every ten feet on the fence that say "video surveillance".

I would add annual inspection of each unit with pics and video.

Watch the video's on Youtube that BP and other's are constantly putting out, or listen to the hundreds of Podcasts that investors have.
