I'm a 24 year old truck driver and just bought my first rental property.

It's you that is the driver of what you get out of each event.

Today when she came over to sign the lease agreement and provide the cash she would not let me take a copy of her drivers license.

No experience with this, but if someone sold me their car and then asked if they could pay me for a ride to/from work for the next few months, I would probably say no because I imagine they'd be the worst "backseat driver" imaginable and I also suspect that their motivation to eventually get a new car and not need me anymore would be zilch.

Do you have anything showing their legal ID numbers such as a driver's license number or social security number.

Also, unless you tell that person up front your intentions they may be mad when you start asking all those questions. 

I bet with a little rapport buildings contract will be signed and the next buyer gonna be mad for wasting gas.

A couple of big drivers are the Volkswagon plant, which is being expanded and will double its workforce when completed to over 4,000 workers, and the University TN-Chattanooga.

BUTTHE REAL DRIVER OF APPRECIATION IS INFLATION, MONEY SUPPLY, AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE, IMHO.

We all got spoiled 5 to 8 yeas ago when prices dropped like mad and foreclosures were everywhere and banks begged to get properties sold.
