Hey there, I own an abatement company so I figured I would give you the advice from a professional point of view. 1.

I am a working professional with a full time 9-6 job.

You cannot receive any direct compensation, and you cannot be the contractor on IRA projects.  

Network with local professionals.  

I also know many of these same people lost everything, due to the behavior of a single tenant that is known as a "Professional Tenant," or maybe an inadvertent accident occurred.

Hello James,You have received quite a bit of advice here and it may seem difficult to sum up.

My 5 year goal is to become a professional real estate fund manager.I happen to live in NYC where there is a large concentration of people with 7 figure incomes who often have a difficult time obtaining a more than nominal return on their at-risk/disposable capital.

IN essence you are a tenant and when your tenant does not adhere to community rules you receive a eviction notice not your tenant.

I need a pro who knows how to do professional work in a timely manner.Thanks for any help you can provide.

In my county there is one judge who asks to see the Pay or Quit notice served to the tenant (although, interestingly, in Georgia the statute simply says that a landlord must make a demand for owed rent from the tenant and if not immediately received, can then file for the dispossessory...our version of an eviction).We use a 3 day Pay or Quit notice so the time the tenant has to remedy the situation is short.Gail
