It's free, other than the food and drinks you order :) But there will be a lot of various backgrounds there for you to talk to and network with. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/144...Good luck out there and welcome to the forum.

Its been explained to me that any loan is technically callable at any time, but they can't just do it for kicks.  

If I was you i would also do some reading in creating financing technics as they can come handy to acquire properties.

So while fixing a defect like an old roof keeps a property from having a negative mark to value and prevents further deterioration which technically improves market value, it doesn't add value in terms of higher rents or faster leasing. 

So while @Brett B. is technically correct if the landlord does everything, don't think that just because you see a tenant's credit report you will know if they have had an eviction.

Some background: I have a steady, professional career in San Jose, CA and around 60K of cash.

I landed in Cinema/Hollywood Technical.
