@Arthur Banks  Congrats on your great success  and yes patient and perseverance pays off!

Be patient place GREAT tenants, this is a highly critical component to a simpler and greater ROI.

If they don't at least pay it out now, they WILL face eviction eventually, and they DON'T want that on their credit.We can communicate our expectations and be patient in working things out in mutual good faith.

Please be patient.

Of course, this isn't a hard rule and you can find quaint cabins with panoramic mountain views- just have to be patient and keep looking.I'm happy to help.

@David SongI'm a California resident and I've had excellent success in Ohio, but there are a few things you should do before you invest:Lots of due diligence including:a) the state and particular area, for me that meant finding a very highly trusted local PM / agent to tell me everything I didn't know which was a lot and still isb) have a full team there, PM, agent, insurance guy, tax/legal guy, etc.c) keep very current on all important trends in the state and locality.d) be willing to say no 20 times before you even consider acquiring new properties, and be very patient and prepared so you have the emotional stability to wait for the right opportunities and then the guts to pull the trigger when they arise.Easily stated but not so easily done.

I set a goal early in my life and worked patiently and diligently to make my goal.

Success will be for the patient who are satisfied with slow growth. 

Willing to hear all advice and be patient, but just want to hear it from someone else.

I’m ok being patient for a few years.
