Just looking to hear from someone who may have had the bad luck to have been sued and advice about what did or didn't work in their favor.

There are way too many good deals to try to make a bad one work.

The motel really isn't a bad thing.

So there is really no downside to paying a junior PM minimum wage to waste his/her day in court while the owner gets a bad tenant out and a new tenant for (most likely) higher rent. 

But I didn't want to ruin relationship with a new neighbor.Against my better judgment, I rented to DIL & BF, dreading it would come to bad ending. 

Does anyone have any personal experience dealing with the college kids in this area, good bad or ugly?

So i TOTALLY RECOMMEND INVESTING IN TENNESSEE.Speaking on South Florida, First off its not a very large area in terms of land compared to other areas in the country, so with this in mind I don't know that i would say its a bad area to invest in, but i do think that a seasoned investor would do much better here than a newbie, simply bc i think its safe to assume they would have the network/financial backing to move quickly on deals... 

True, a return of 5.77% is not such a bad thing, but at the same time it is not a very compelling return.

And it’s just a bad idea.  

You can get started without any capital.Flipping you have more risks but the returns are also higher.I find that a lot of wholesalers have terribly bad deals because they have never flipped themselves.Imo, you learn a lot more flipping houses.But having said, wholesaling forces to get in front of people.
