My goal is to get my first property no later than end of Q1 2018.For my immediate next steps I am 1) starting to write out clear goals on what I want to achieve and break it down into smaller steps.  2) I will be joining the Richmond REIA starting in January (December meeting is Christmas party and I'll be away). 3) Continued meetings with people in my current network that are involved in Real Estate Investing - Found out about a few by chance and have reached out. 

I know it is possible but have never been involved in one with my clients. 

I filed the eviction, completed everything, and the judge granted us possession. 

I’ve heard that buying a duplex is the best way to get involved.

I found this from a file I made 4 or 5 years ago when I interviewed every realestate investor I could hunt down in my area.

However, in my opinion that is much more of a business than a passive investment because there is a lot more day to day involvement (i.e. cleaning, advertising, changing rental rates based on day of the week/time of year).

Hello folks, I've been listening to BP podcasts for sometime now, and have decided to finally get involved in the forums.

I think I would have paid for a hotel for them for one night since there was a baby involved, let them get a goods night rest before figuring out their next move.

It depends on your ability and involvement in the process.

If you do play that game and get caught, you generally get a cease and desist the first offense but the state could just go ahead and file 3rd degree felony charges for brokering without a license.
