Now that I have done so, I feel a little more comfortable putting myself out there.As a new member and amateur, some things that I have already learned are: This business is not easy, it is time consuming, it is not a get rich quick process and it requires a lot of hard work and motivation.

Sorry if it's more of an amateur issue this is my first rental property.

I LOVE IRS liens amateurs are scared of them and those are usually my best deals.

I am an amateur on this topic so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

However my mentor has made a killing with just this small area and has had lower income tenants stay in houses 10 years plus.I know im very amateur  and I appreciate the feedback @Brian Ploszay I look forward to maybe discussing more ?

As rookie and amateur as that sounds, it is true.

:)As an amateur landlord myself, I always feel uncomfortable asking for a raise in rent since I know my tenant is just an average blue-collar worker.

Remember, PM's are licensed real estate brokers in most cases and their stock and trade is bringing buyers to buy property and they expect to get a paid a commission if that person buys.As a side note; people mention just having the PM "strike this clause"; so a little secret here to tell if you're dealing with a "real" professional firm or someone who is "playing manager" on the side: if a PM ever agrees to "just strike something" from their PM agreement then you know you're dealing with a rank amateur or at the very least an extremely inexperienced PM.

Especially for (at least me) an amateur.  

Assuming, this is the ONLY real estate investment you will ever make, you could very well go through 15 years with not a single terrible renter, and maybe a couple that simply struggle with making payments on time, and one that had to be evicted (wouldn't be that bad at all if that's all that happens in 15 years on a 4plex).SCREENING prevents tons of problems, and a huge sign of an inexperienced amateur landlord is one that has found themselves in a big pickle because they neglected to screen their potential tenants properly.That's about it.
