I see a problem often in REI - it's that people often use the website, business cards, or other technical (and less important) things get in the way.

Mostly, though, since I've often made the mistake of relying too much on books and too little on wise individuals, I've been focusing on simply asking questions of people who've been successful in RE in my area.

Our main real estate goal is to purchase rental units to buy and hold and every so often doing a 1031 exchange to move up in number of units and also hopefully have units closer to home in NoVa.

Unprofitable rentals often produce "passive losses".

I dealt with these kinda of tenants and they don't even get out of the house.

How often would you say the full amount, or almost the full amount is returned to the tenant?

They have, most often, a complex decission making chart of actions required.

Unfortunately wholesaling is not nearly as simple as too often described as.

I think it depends much on perspective which often has a lot to do with personal experiences (or lack there of).Btw, both Newark and Elizabeth are red hot with Investors as well.

I always felt a little strange pulling it out to swap contact details in front of tenants who had the latest iPhone.All of my tenants have flashy big screen HD TVs.
