Prior to going through the effort of getting your license, you may want to locate a BIC in your area that will allow you to operate as an investor under their license and guidance, once you get your license.  

We are all in this journey together – and I look forward to seeing you on the forums as we all continue to help each other grow. 

It's been 4 months and the tenant continues to complain about multiple issues that our previous tenants had no problem with.

-I constructed my team to consist of the cream of the crop Property Management Team in Dallas, a partner that owns and operates 200M in Real Estate, and I moved to the city that I invest so that I can submerge myself in the market... super check.I don't think that the credibility and experience I've amassed is anything special, but I do think that it sufficient enough to entice warm traffic for a conversation about investing with us..By warm traffic I mean family and friends who have consistently asked that I let them know when I get a deal that they'd be able to participate in (and my goodness what a deal this is). 

I opened an operated a co-working space last year.  

After the winter it will be time to assess whether to take another stab at selling the home, or continuing to rent for another year.  

Until then they would continue to owe rent on the place and failure to pay will result in an eviction which will remain on their credit history for an extensive period of time.In the future it may be useful to include (if allowed in your state) an Early Termination Clause in your lease. 

Between the license fee, the board fee (if it is required) and the monthly fees that you are charged and of couese update courses every year and other continuing education classes that may have a fee.
