I spent time in a hot tub at the YMCA while I was reading a few books to include Diary of a Hedgehog by Barton biggs and another one by Eric Sprott on gold manipulation;) I came home played with 7 year old boy then ate lunch Chicken Tika Masala bless my beautiful wife.

I follow the legal aspects of this to the letter (via Nolo press: CA Landlord's Law Book; But it's still not as thorough as I need.)

Bill Bronchick's book "Wealth Protection Secrets of a Millionaire Real Estate Investor" is a pretty good introduction.

Read every book you can find about real estate.

All of that being said buy him some Dave Ramsey books.

But there were damages because of a dog & he left us a $525 water bill & the lease was specific about 60 days written notice.I approached her to track him down for payment but he had moved in with another woman (2 miles from our home) & was working off the books to avoid child support & their health care payments.

At 85k I get 417/month cash flow and 18.9% ROI, definitely a BUY in my book.

The number in the books are the first thing you want to verify as true before spending money on everything else for DD.

For the past year we have read any book we can acquire in regards to house flipping, selling your own home, and buying.
