Remember rule #1 "Either you train your tenants, or your tenants train you" I suggest a tenant retention program.

I am afraid they are going to take the appliances with them.I was trained to have an "Appliance Addendum" to the lease where the model and serial numbers for each appliance is itemized, and signed by both landlord and tenant.With that, you can more easily prove that they stole the appliances, and even pursue this as a criminal matter!

Which is to say that they have done nothing in the way of education or training for them to take over.

The problem is the train tracks run through the whole area and it's one of the busiest tracks in the US.

From the training and classes I've gone to the road map path isn't necessarily the best one because the road map works as long as your path doesn't change, but with how quick things can change with the market, legislation, etc. a road map may not work time after time.

In his words, Countrywide, “Started a train and laid the tracks that ran the industry off the edge of a cliff.”

I would go with the cheapest.If you are going to be an active agent, a good real estate brokerage will train you.

We did not purchase the training program though-- Then I came across your amazing website filled with a wealth of information and thought this would be a great place to start - any info given to help us start this business would be greatly appreciated- As you can tell we are newer then newbies Thanks and have a nice evening

I was very much the same train of thought when I was first starting, I went so far as to offer bird dogging services to others, but you're spending a lot of time, making a little bit of money and learning a little bit because you're just dipping you're toes in the water... barely.

Find a "train station" that works for you.If you miss one train, don't worry anther will come along :)jon
