And if you haven't organized to have a lot less monthly expenses (trying for ZERO, if not positive cash) even while you live there this time, what makes you think you'll succeed the next time?

There is a local REIA meeting the 3rd Monday every month and I have been mulling organizing a monthly lunch get together.If you need help please reach out to me, I am a hard money lender, realtor and investor.

I have a mom & pop operation and need to get organized fast.

As someone who is from Newark and still invests as well as volunteers there (with a youth mentoring organization ).

Organizing a regular cleaner or gardener etc.I have found it best to just include it in the advertisement and lease rather than offer it as a choice.

I ordered the same book and am about 60 pages in.Contrasting Patrice's opinion, I find that the information is not logically organized (in some cases not organized at all, it seems), and that he fails to elaborate on concepts and strategies when needed, which really throws me off.

Seeking some advice as to the best way to go about the process, I have seen a couple of "schools" such as NY Real Estate Institute, Real Estate U, Real Estate Training Center..does anyone have any experience with any of these organizations and/or recommendations as to obtaining my licensing?

After we get a few more attendees I will organize something.

Also ask them if they can provide you with a good local assistance organization that assists section 8 tenants in obtaining section 8 apartments.

I would love to organize a meet up over the summer, so message me if you are interested.
