I am ready to start my journey in the fix and flip as well as rental aspects od REI.Having grown up in South Florida I have witnessed the growth and potential that this market has to offer.

@Aly W. it was suggested to me to have the police there "to keep the peace" as a witness if tenant refused.  

Quote from @Jami Lynn:  If the seller is one of the "recognized" "minorities" (that's who've we always had problems with later) we insist they bring along a family member or best friend "to help celebrate" (be a witness) and we get them on video too of course.

While I have never been to any of the seminars, I have witnessed others go into serious debt to attend them and have done exactly 0 deals.

I feel like I've seen a lot of the same lots stay stagnant because no one wants to deal w/ it and rather get a built house or the ones that do can't get the funding..

We can't wait to hear more about your journey and witness your progress as you delve into the world of mid and long-term rentals and syndication.

If you want to test out the concept wit this couple, add a pet addendum to your lease.

I've witnessed some horror stories and seen good landlords being taken advantage of, burdened, and stressed beyond belief due to a non-paying tenant.

This shift in terminology raises an important question: Is it truly an improvement, or are we witnessing necessary corrections to previously inflated prices?

This gives you an objective third party as a witness and it ensures the charges stand up in court.What you experienced is very common in real estate investing.
