This time not as an employee, but one of the owners.2 decades of success has helped me to understand what are the things I need to do and have in place to be successful.

Very tough to do, concentrate on your own success for now!

I ask because I'm just down the street in La Mesa and know how tough our market is.

Because with the numbers that Jeff Keller stated it's tough as a newcomer to make money as a real estate agent while trying to find your owns deals.

They may contain language on dealing with live-in maintenance employees.

I agree with you that when looking at cash flow, the numbers don't really make a ton of sense in the Philadelphia area (unless you can get a property under contract for a heavy discount - which is tough for a beginner).

Hello BP Members!

I am very new in my pursuit of becoming a RE investor. I am in the military, 24 years old married and have 2 young children. Because of this I often find myself trying to be very conservative.

...

My reasons for evicting:always more than 10 days late on rentlied to me about the business he was going to be operatinglied to me about having employees (one of which is sex offender and my building I own next him has a has a tenant that runs a business dealing with children (( Ive talked to the sheriffs office and there isnt anything they can do))Property has several junk cars on blocks and is very unsightly.If I have to give a reason are these legal reason to not renew his lease? 

This will keep you motivated when times get tough, and the properties are thin.Steve

I know it's a tough time in the real estate world, but surely there are still deals to be had, right?
