Hi everyone,Newbie here - I’ve been reading and educating myself for over 2 years.

Is there a lot of construction/construction workers in the areaAre you near educational institutions?

. - Your rental history via any identifiable prior Landlords - Credit reports via a third-party Consumer Reporting Agency - Public records regarding criminal conviction history or registration as a sex offender - Personal references. - Verification of employment and/or income (or rental subsidy) amounts. - Public records regarding civil court records. - Any other information provided by the applicant (such as anticipated length of tenancy, tenancy commencement date, etc.). - Any offers or proposals you may choose to make to us (additional rent or deposit funds, extended lease term, guarantors or co-signers, etc.).

It would be better to educate yourself on what a good PM looks like and then screen some potential managers until you find one that will do the job right.You can start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Got my education going...

If someone does not read the instructions or call for help, they get what they create.All IRA horror stories have one common root - failure to educate oneself on the process.This can stem from several sources:Plan providers that focus on marketing, not education.Plans that do not come bundled with access to quality ongoing support.Investors who just think of this as "an account" or "a pile of money" and do not respect the fact that with the freedom to take more control over their investment portfolio comes a responsibility to be aware of and operate within the rules.For investors who take the time to be properly educated and work with a quality provider, there is very little risk. 

I need to educate myself more on the benefits of AdWords.

I would continue to educate yourself (this is the most important step at any age) by listening to the podcasts, reading the BP forums, books, etc.

I've become interested in generating passive income through rental properties and have been working on educating myself.
