I'm learning that tenants get a very fair share of rights in NJ and that evictions can extend many months (the worst I heard of was six).Has anyone determined the optimal/quickest way to get non paying tenants evicted.By this I mean:- up front screening (credit/employ check/crim. bg)- stronger lease clauses- security deposits, etc- tactics- lawyersIf anyone has devised a process for minimizing eviction time and lost rent I'd like to hear from them.Thanks

Of course that would mean I'm still throwing away money on rent,even if it's less than I do now.

One goal for 2009 is to read 25 books on real estate investing, though I may throw a few marketing books into the mix.I just finished reading How to Make Money in Commercial Real Estate for the Small Investor by Nicholas Masters.Here is my Amazon review: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/0471752614/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?

One of my goals is to secure my retirement, I'm looking long-term.

The $1500 operating expenses are things like taxes, insurance, management (even if you do it yourself), maintenance, advertising, office expenses, utilities (even if only during vacancies), legal fees, evictions, damage done by tenants in excess of the security deposit, etc, etc, etc.

I'll also show you how to turn $5 into $50,000,000 in one week without ever having to get up off your couch.Most of the time, each of these "guru of the week" fellows end up in jail or bankrupt.The fact that this Kiyosaki fellow flatout lied when his book came out and then used his Amway cohorts to buy enough copies of the book that it instantly became a bestseller should throw up a red flag.

Figured if the money is going to be spent anyway on bills, might as well take advantage of the perks.This may sound a bit more simplistic but we throw all of our change into a jar and at the end of year we roll it and cash it in at the bank.

Stay cool and don't let the attorney's bombast and bluster throw you (they only do it to look like they're earning their money).

Some of his other legacies include the Social Security system and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
