REI clubs tend to provide a neutral, no pressure environment you can use to develop the long-term relationships you need in this business.

The pressure of obligations associated with other peoples money can lead you into costly mistakes - cutting corners financially and taking on tenants that you should reject because you are worried about your ability to make the monthly payments.

I search probates constantly (well, not constantly but I'm at the courthouse at least once a week gathering information).

I currently own outright 7 residential units, all within a block of each other, and am constantly looking for new properties.

How they just get fed up with the constant repairs and bills of owning money pits!

Things constantly change just like Michigan weather.

The rural areas works very well for us due to the availability of land and the ability to readily create sales volume without the need to hunt down rehab deals constantly in the (sub)urban areas (though we expect to continue with that as well).We plan to begin construction of two homes in mid-January, and all indications suggest that we will have buyers already in place.

Older concrete is much much harder to drill than newer concrete.If the window wells are at least partially underground then I suppose a good construction adhesive would work since the pressure of the dirt around the window well will also hold it in place.

I clearly need to keep it posted on my monitor so I see it constantly.

The problem is he has been continuing to pay rent and has no pressure to get back to work.
