I have taken initiative to learn as much as possible through books, podcasts, blogs, BP, and other resources (still a lot to learn!). 

Thank you all for the tips.

Hey All,The question I have for all you self managing landlords today is, does anyone have any good tips or tricks (I don't mean actually tricking your tenant) into a simple and stress free way of having them sign a new year lease with slight rent increase about 2.5% Ive been doing this for years now and Ive just come to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old "Oh well we are going to probably be moving" or "This is broke, I need a new stove, bathroom, car..."

Any advice, tips and hints are incredibly appreciated.

That said there are charities, county and state resources they can turn to point them in those directions if needed.

Is there a tip and trick people can share to get an offer accepted?

Dear All,  I wonder if anyone would point me the resource or any sort of guideline, how to do seller financing?

The three most investor friendly banks in the New Orleans area are Home Bank, Resource Bank and Investar.

What tips do you all have for keeping up with what is hot in housing?

Any other tips and info anyone can give is so appreciated!
