Also, you get to learn the ropes on what it takes to be a landlord.

My buyer is a landlord in the market.

But, a few things to know:First, I've noticed that most landlords buy carpet that is light brown in color.

If the landlord makes the claim, they still get the full amount of what the security deposit would have been.

I often joke that someday I will write my "memoirs" about all of my adventures in real estate/landlording!

Sometimes new landlords price their rentals high thinking they will get an extra good tenant.

I figure that if there's a dispute over charges to the tenant's deposit later on, the certified letter as well as earlier emails on the subject would satisfy a judge that the tenant had delayed submitting the checklist long enough to undermine its validity.The tenant's delay then actually would seem to work to the advantage of the landlord.

True investors never ever stop.I'm 22 and my eyes just opened up to the world of REI about a month ago and since then read as many books as I could get access to ranging from thinking like an investor, real estate, land-lording, accounting, law, taxes, marketing, negotiating... coming across BP was just the icing on the cake and overwhelmed me of the wealth of information that was on here to add to my arsenal.

One of the people I met at a recent landlording class I took, used it to buy is second multifamily.

However, I took another job that I liked doing much more than pure landlording - working here at BiggerPockets!
