I wouldn't be waiting any amount of time to deal with a case that can result something showing up on my permanent record or worse, a bench warrant arrest for failure to appear in court and more sanctions.You are welcome to give him a week to secure the property/ send you pictures/ flowers or whatever (however I personally would not recommend this), but these are judicial proceedings and only you or your attorney can take care of these issues directly, so I would take these very seriously and consider these issues your problem alone to settle in coordination with your attorney.

Currently, my goal is to invest in my first property before my 26th birthday (June 2015).

I bought my first rental property around my 18th birthday and also got my real estate license around then (all while going to college, trust me it was a little busy).I kept busy buying properties while I was going to college (UWSP).

Other times of the year - if you find out your tenant is recovering from a surgery, have a flower delivery service drop off a $30 "get well" flowers - just did that one this week.

So here are pros and cons of managing yourself.Pros:  you keep all profits (except 3% to credit card company), get to know guests, create a rapport with regular guests, make it personalized and memorable for your guests (my housekeeping staff was great and would leave flowers for anniversaries and balloons for bdays)Cons: Phone calls late at night sometimes, dealing with guests who are nasty and ignore your rules (ie no pets/no smoking, but it's nice having damage waiver in place), trial and error finding right housekeeping/maintenance/HVAC/plumbing people.Going with a property management company pros and cons:Pros:  they deal with all the issues and reservations callsCons: they may not be as attentive to your property as you would be and don't follow through with rules of no pets/no smoking.

Then at the end came the pitch for the note investing - how it's in our best interest because a better return without the headaches, too many candles on our birthday cakes, etc.

My 30th birthday isn’t far away and I feel like I’m finally in a place mentally & emotionally to be able to make sound decisions and actually get started!

I think you could do well in Little Flower, particularly in the eastern half of the neighborhood, but would stay off of 16th, Emerson, and 10th.
