Resist the urge to settle with a company who may offer the cheapest deal.

You have to resist the naysayers in your life (they will eventually come around), and it definitely helps to have some luck on your side too!

How long it takes depends on how informed the tenant is and how hard they resist.

Jason Ruff , not sure about your insurance but I know for a fact my insurance would not allow teants to have any open flame source of heat i.e.

NOW you can flame me for posting such a worthless trivial item,,,,but keeping this in mind with how you sand it isnt. 

@William Kyle Walker  again don't know the context but I have been around a few blocks a few times.. and if I have seen people flame out in RE its robbing peter to pay paul.. its slippery slope that once you get behind many times you can't recover and it just gets worse and depending on the situation here IE you have investor it can move to a criminal type thing..

I am nervous that despite a good credit score, a good job that pays 120k a year, and tremendous cash flowing properties, that I will encounter resistance from banks.  

I look forward to hearing your insight, suggestions, and/or any flaming =P

Listening to the hype of real estate systems and programs to follow only adds fuel to the flame.

Begin thinking:  As an owner, I have the right to rent, sell, paint, abuse and even burn any thing I own (yeah,  property would need to be owned free and clear).if I own it, I can manage it.Any law contrary would be an abuse of common sense and we might see another Tea Party :grin::Thinking no longer required{ yes, that's snide, satirical & couldn't resist :sigh: }
