I have been working in the mortgage industry for close to 8 years for one of the nations largest lenders.

@Atwan Kwan I understand about advising the client to take action against his wishes.I question the thinking on the process.I settle out of court all the time, but never miss a filing.I can be in front of the judge and if I have permission from my client to accept payment, I will do so (in certified funds, full balance) and let the judge know right then my client has decided to dismiss.BUT WITHOUT A POSITION OF STRENGTH, you can be played by a tenant who has no intent to pay and who only wants to delay the eviction until they've stayed rent free for the last few months. you stated the tenant DECIDED not to pay (obviously thinks he won't get his deposit back, or has no deposit saved for the next place).Unless your client is aware of that possibility and you protect him against it, you're missing the point.Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Nothing else can possibly touch those two excellent pieces of hardware, especially after 9 pm.Anything from the real estate industry applying such grades would almost certainly end up being a flagrant violation of fair housing laws.

Though experience in the mortgage industry can be considered by the DFS.Aside from a straight sale you could offer the portfolio in whole or in part to other investors with seller financing.  

I have been to many of these and its like anything else sales and business related not everyone can do it.. plain and simple.. failure rate for real estate Is quite highthe other side of the coin are those that have made nice money in other professions or industries and then bought buy and hold for long term investments.Gurus generally are talking about get rich quick.. so its caveat Emptor for sure with these things.But I do know more than a handful of investors who got their start paying the 40k and are as successful as anyone who learned on BP myself included.. but they would have been stars no matter where their education..  

I then continued my education by passing the requirements to become a CPCU "Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter"  There are fewer than 25000 of us in the world, the designation is considered to be the most prestigious in our industry. 

I decided to try something else and move into the auto industry and became a car salesman. 

Its a good gateway to start. when i first started on bigger pockets I too had about 10k saved and just started reading through forums and reading books and found out really fast that 10k won't do you much good in this industry, especially if your in California.

The problem with apartments is that price/sqft metric is not a fair metric to calculate value, so the industry came up with another metric that is more fair... meet "Cap Rate".

Let's say the building is an industrial basic steel building that total will cost $500,000 to build, and it's a 10,000sqf building renting at $.06 per square foot.
