The profits look good until you have to pull a gun out of your truck to keep two guys from stomping a tranny hooker to death in your front yard (true story). 

What I'm finding the most helpful right now is the community which is very rich, enthusiastic and very engaged.

Did I whip out a gun and blow his tallywacker off?

Even though this is your bread and butter and it works for you I would hate to manage these places I have B class buildings in C class areas I have section 8 tenants before And I am not going that road again I would consider doing it if a entire street could be purchased in one shot in hartford Waterbury fits your criteria Gun waving New Haven most certainly could use your touch New Britain would also be worth looking into

I mean my wife does 10 to 15 million a year and might work with one investor or two a year that I refer who too etc.. but those shot gunning low balls  we find that to be non productive on our end and at the end of the day we are all independent contractors and we get to CHOOSE who we work with.. we are not beholden to any client.. just like clients are not beholden to any agent.. 

I love investment real estate and think it has a lot of potential for eager, enthusiastic self-starters!  

(They are usually the most enthusiastic anyway.)

I have jumped the gun on plenty of things in life and sometimes as human beings we can get blinded by the best possible outcome and be too rosy in our assumptions about the future.

As I believe @Dennis M. is trying to point out with some humor, this is a reality we deal with down in D'class all the time.Odds are, the bender will quietly peter out, reason will return, he'll continue to pay rent and never do this again in abject, total gratitude for forgiving him this sin.Does he know you have guns in your own home and aren't afraid to use them?

People have guns.
