Caleb Heimsoth why not do a little seminar around my area and teach what i have learned? To be honest i could bring huge value from all the stuff i have learned from bp, fortune builders and youtube and it all.

Mike Dymski Dont understand why everyone doesnt try it? I think i could really start a lucrative business doing seminars and teaching. Just worry making more competition for us and i would hate to do that being that I really put in some hard work. We have 17 propertys now and really just starting to take off. What you think?

Why do they teach all there secrets and everything around area? Wouldnt they be afraid of more competition and make it harder to find deals and so on?

So want to start another business like biggerpockets/fortune builders and grant cardone and all that stuff. I have my area learned really well. Just wonder if I start facebook and instagram pages, worry if people will steal my business ideas and take deals? Also like my contractors that work for me leaving me high and dry and me stuck with alot of projects to do and finish and keep going? Is this a good i should pursue or not?

Just closed on a duplex for very discounted price. One side isn’t paying wouldnt do lease or anything either. Pretty sure gonna try and drag it out never had to eviction. But filed it today. Heard from people when they aren’t paying they will take door off the property and say its for maintenance to get them out or to pay?

Brian Ploszay Thank you Brian. She’s been a great tenant up until this point. Always has paid on time & gives us no problems at all. Extremely respectful. However, I agree with you.

Dear Josh and Jordan, Its Misty from your 40 Paisley Ave rental. I'm writing because I'm having a complete nervous breakdown about some news I've gotten recently. My mom, who not only cosigned to help me get approved for this home, she has also helped me out in part with my rent, and has been diagnosed by her doctor, after dealing with some stomach issues, that not only does she have some type of colitis or maybe something more, further testing is needed, but, she also has 2 holes in her heart, that will require surgery, and in turn will need to take medical leave from work beginning July 31st, which is the day of Her surgery. This all happened very suddenly, as I mentioned previously, that it was her stomach that was giving her trouble, we were all thrown for a loop learning it was her heart too. In short, i unfortunately, just simply cannot sustain the entire amount of the rent on my own in addition to the utilities, and after exploring other options on my end with no answer, I needed to turn to you guys and just be honest, I don't know what to do. Im literally a nervous wreck About this situation especially since school is right around the corner, and knowing that we have a binding agreement with the lease. I'm hoping that you guys may have some options for me. I read subletting was mentioned in the lease, I'm not exactly familiar with all of this renting/lease jargon, or how that would work, or if it's even an available option, I'm just in a desperate situation at this point. I truly am so very sorry, I'm just in the worst position, it feels. I'm really worried about this, in addition to being worried about my moms health, I'm a mess. Please let me know what I can do. I appreciate everything. Thank you. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Brent Coombs can you please explain? Also would you keep this as a hold property?
