Here are some of these excuses:1) I don't have enough energy (as i struggle with a chronic medical condition...)2) I don't have enough time (because I am a young mother of two children...)3) I don't have enough money (because though our savings are growing steadily, it is not enough to do a deal on my own...)4) I don't know enough (at least it seems little relative to the information out there...)So now, Brain, listen well: These 'excuses' listed here are precisely the reasons you NEED to get good at this, and quickly too!

@Steve Vaughan  I think this really depends what area... as in some areas HUD will be almost all single mothers with Children and then the dads coming and going.. it can make for a pretty interesting PM challenge.. collage kids don't have hud usually.. we had a few hundred hud tenants and by and large fine but I can't see how you could have 200 1 bds all hud.. that would be something.

She supports me but does not totally grasp all of the concepts of how good RE investing can be.I am not sure if they have children, but when they do his wife will be able to stay home with them and the RE profits will support them.

Unfortunately, a lot of the older people thought their children or a relative was taking care of their taxes.

I’m newly wedded with no children.

That saved me 2100 and again, I didn't have to do anything but shop around.We have 3 small children.

Which I wouldn't normally care about (close enough) except for the IRS treats everyone has children, tax cheats, or unpaid tax collectors.  

My neighbors were astonished when they found out for how much my house had sold, but they had reasons why they couldn't sell right now (one had children in school, another had a decade to retirement).If history is any guide, Bay Area housing prices will likely be higher a decade or two from now, even if there is a serious decline long the way.

I spoke to a couple of attorneys and they confirmed that it is roughly a 2-4 month process if it's a private house and no extenuating circumstances.When you get into rent controlled properties, elderly people, children, and unkept properties then issues arise and it will take longer.They also discussed initiating a surrender agreement (cash for keys) which they can manage.

There are children in the home and NYC is a tenant friendly state so you are already at a disadvantage.
