I just don't own anything in my name, even my vehicles.

He is not employed nor does he have a vehicle.

I would look for: Tenant must earn 3x what the monthly rent will beHave good references from employers/previous landlordsNo evictions, clean background check, no broken leases or judgementsThey give employer/job information, proof of a paycheckUse your gut in terms of their appearance, attitude, how clean their vehicle looks, punctuality, how they are dressed

Simple things like changing a transformer connection, repairing a magnetic motor starter, or changing the voltage on a motor, baffle them for the most part.

In the short term I would like to get started in wholesaling and use that as a vehicle to build up cash for further real estate ventures down the line.  

So now i have this vehicle and goal to work towards, it has given me renewed hope and optimism for a 'deskjob-free' life that i've always looked for.Based on the what i've read thus far, I think i will focus on Buy-n-Hold strategy for now with an emphasis on multi-family.

Combine that with a better shot a appreciation and opportunities to sell for top dollar we have quite an investment vehicle.

my total bills are around $800 a month ($400 for rent plus utilities, $100 for phone/internet, $150 for health/car insurance, and $150 in student loans), i have about $1200 net income per month, i have no credit card debt, and a paid off vehicle.

The building will be on a very busy artery of the city, with about 60-70,000 vehicles driving through it per day.

Seems like either the vehicle wasn't registered or Ike didn't claim it was his.
