Long story short, I had to use the sheriff dept multiple times to get the property cleared, so I could go to work. 

Hello, my name is Elvis I’m 23 and I have a story for you, one day I was fishing and as I was leaving my dream car drove into the parking lot, a yellow Lamborghini murcielago, I had to stop and turn around and look at this car.

With the internet and sites that give you access to the MLS I don’t think everyone needs a real estate license but sitting through the licensure classes and other real estate classes and listening to stories from professionals in the trenches really gave me a handle and insight and strategy into the art, game, and business of real estate and I think even if people don’t sit for the test if there’s a good anecdotal instructor that doesn’t just read hours of material in the licensing course everyone could benefit from it.

By the sounds of it you'd rent to a tenant that clearly doesn't qualify for your unit because they have a sob story.

Matt,Love to hear the story, great timing buying this 7 years ago.

I am an aspiring RE investor from the Orange County, CA area.Hoping to get some insight on the procedures I should follow in order to get permission to build a 2nd story addition.I've been debating whether to build up or build out for an ADU that is on my lot.

@Stewart Beal Its stories like that, that really inspire me.
