But i will keep educating myself and hopefully atleast get one deal so i can show my 80 year old mother that i can make it as an investor.. i love RE and wanted to be an agent years ago but i aslo had a drug problem and wound up with some felonies.. now im over two years sober and my family is proud of me.. i try to help the home owners not irritate them.. my dream is to be like several of yall thats on this thread but until i can buy my own property i pray i can atleast find a buyer for the leads i have coming in.. thank yall for all the education and information.

Turned out the guy had a long criminal history and had drug issues.

I'm in Miami...Cagey, lying about seemingly inconsequential things, weird things with water... it drugs...Also, he's lying about doing things for you to test because he's not there.

(He technically has the money but because he is unsophisticated and a little sketchy he’s having a hard time dealing with this discrepancy) The more I learn about him I find he is a drug addict with an ankle bracelet and history of violence.

We try to stay away from foundation issues and drug homes. 

I've filed evictions for just cause everything from having pit bulls to drug raids with no avail beware of the Stockton City Court system I'm looking for other property owners to do a class action suit for they took money with no intent invicted anybody

For me it's:-A good work history-They meet or exceed the monthly income and credit requirement-No prior evictions/never sued by a prior landlord-No/minimal criminal record - no drug arrests/no violent crimes. 

Be careful, you can't evict someone just because he USED to be a murderer or drug dealer.Focus on the lease violations.

"The Real Secret of Success Choose Your Suffering.Everything you want in life; every goal you want to achieve; every dream you want to manifest: all comes with a price tag.Legitimate success in any endeavor requires that you pay upfront, in full and with your own sweat.There is no other way.To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that is right for you.Subsequently, you must live with the consequences of that decision.The moment you choose to not continue to pay the price of success, is the moment you choose to suffer the consequences of failure, which is, the WORST kind of suffering.The suffering cost of failure is ALWAYS higher than the suffering price of success.The cost and consequences of success in a job, relationship, career, or any area can cause a monumental amount of disruption and chaos in your life.Here are some examples of the suffering costs of failure:If you lack financial discipline, you will suffer the consequences of debt, harassing bill collectors and sleepless nights.If you do not manage your diet, you will suffer the cost of diabetes and poor fitting clothing.By not keeping your promises or honoring your commitments, you will suffer the loss of reputation and contaminated character.Sooner or later, each of us must choose to pay the price of success or pay the cost of failure.Sooner or later, you will come to the understanding that you MUST choose your suffering.The price of success is often more than people are willing to pay.
