James, that is a great, encouraging share.

Thank you, SteveI appreciate the words of encouragement! 

My biggest concern is that I encourage my applicant to first check their free credit score directly at Experian to make sure it meets our minimum score required.

But we didn’t want the basement to be that cozy anyways....it encourages applicants with WAY too many people trying to live in the house.

I would absolutely encourage exploring podcasts/forums/books to continue that education.  

It's a bit of a fine line because you definitely don't want to encourage tenants to call you more than needed, but that comes from training them later after you've built that critical initial rapport.

I like working with attys sometimes and some of them drive me nuts.If they're convinced waiving appraisal is a bad idea (which I can see), I don't know if you have much of an option if NJ encourages atty review (which is not a bad idea otherwise).

The realtor was encouraging me to make an offer and perform an inspection on the exterior and only unit 5, then I could evict unit 6 after acquiring the property and perform an inspection on unit 6.

I read a lot and on a lot of different subjects and occasionally will take a weekend course, attend seminars , etc.I would encourage you to read up on tax planning and tax strategy and not just count on an accountant to advise you.Next, I would encourage you to read up on whatever area of real estate that currently interests you.

I'd encourage you to try a bunch of different software and figure out which ones help the most with your biggest pain points and time-consuming activities.
