New ContactsBeing a real estate investor and Realtor can be a delicate balance.

@Chingju Hu, yes the ROI with regards to monthly cash flow is getting smaller.

I understand there is a family dynamic here, but you could offer it delicately like, "I'm not expecting you to accept this, but this is the most I am comfortable paying in order to make the numbers work".

Their meetings are mostly dedicated to subject to examples and cases, as well as their masterminds.If the bill is passed, the Groves will be in a very delicate position if they want to continue teaching the way the do, and, therefore, they have ALL THE INTEREST IN THE WORLD to oppose the bill.

Don't have any concrete proof but am unsure of how to proceed.I have a delicate situation that hasn't turned badly yet but is setting off warning signals and was hoping to get some advice.A fairly new tenant has been submitting numerous repair requests.  

Granted, this can be a learning experience about how to harden rentals properly, but it often creates all kinds of nostalgic sentiments that can flare up into conflicts with the tenants.The usual scenario is that the tenants move in, live as tenants do, and the newbie landlords go back in and find delicate stuff, or meaningful stuff, or stuff that they didn't even know was meaningful to them damaged or painted over or disrespected in some way, and then the newbie landlords get in this forum and moan about how tenants just don't respect their landlord's property, and they get ten other newbies commiserating and telling them that yes, yes, yes, they're right, and their tenants are bad, bad, bad...and of course this can lead to all kinds of poor decisions.

@Minna Hu I am sorry to hear about your experience with the local inspectors. 

It doesn't mean you have no say, but ask them for options and when it comes to picking out colours...ask for enough lead time that you can go in, look at the options they provided and then pick the colour you want.

@Amy Hu another way to look at this is that 750 hours is basically like having a Monday - Friday job for three hours a day, 52 weeks a year.
