We want to change the site plan since we want rowhome style and not condo style.

Don't get too desperate or you will make mistakes... lord knows I have lol Good job teaching out on the forums before making that mistake.

and I forget they texted me.. but I guess if your just handling small number of tenants and that's your style.. 

I just bought my first house from HUD and I'm looking to make around $60,000 on my first deal assuming that everything goes right but that is a year away.Short-term (5 years) goal is to buy my parents house they're looking to retire and I owe them so much for my mindset work ethic.Long-term (20 years) to have enough rentals to where I could justify creating a management company and carpentry company and other supporting businesses.I don't know if he is necessarily the most adapt in my market (I live about 60mils outside DC) but he has his license in four states and he's perceptive and willing to talk to me and teach me

They can teach you at the same time so you can avoid this in the future.For anyone that is a Landlord: mold is one of the most common methods tenants attempt to break their lease or extort you for money.

My job now is to teach everyone I speak to what NOT to do.   

I think the biggest part of bigger pockets is how much they push whole life style changes, which really can make a person go from being lazy and depressed to focused driven and confident.I was introduced to real estate investing by the rich dad poor dad company, but was dissuaded by their for profit workings.

Students still want to live in non-apartment style properties but age of the property and proximity to the university are huge factors.As far as management, make sure you speak with all companies available and that their goals align with yours.

Currently 3 units, but are all "loft-style" meaning they can be made into up to 6 units. 

Which, don't get me wrong, I make the most of it however, I don't have the time that I need to teach them, help them grow and be there for their every event.What I do have is motivation.
