No offense to any of the attorneys, but I've found that these guys are a dime a dozen. 

Writing a clause such as  "All minor repairs under 500 dollars (or whatever dollar amount you choose) is the responsibility of the tenant" will prevent the tenant from nickel and diming you.

On my subdivisions if the broker double ends then we get a discount 4 to 5% total is usual.In markets were your playing with 50 ro 150k properties I would not discount a dime either too much work for too few dollars.

The difficult cash buyer that is just impossible to work with, that makes each transaction a nickel and dime fest of pain and misery? 

When they tell you it is possible to invest without a dime of your own money, that is 100% true.

Quote from @Travis Timmons: Maximize your W2 earnings, get a 2nd job, swallow your pride and live at home (if that's an option), don't spend a dime on anything if it is not food, housing, or transportation, and pile up money. 

BP will help tremendously with residential.Wholesaling is smart according to this analysis that yielded $11K (slow dime) on a fix & flip vs. a $10K (quick nickel) according to Phil's Secret to Flipping Houses:https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Find a deal, then tell everyone about it, guarantee you'll get some good buyers.However I am so annoyed when wholesalers ty to get me to join their mailing list when they have no deal, here in Columbus wholesalers are a dime a dozen, but there are only a select few who actually produce.

So many people have had "renters" in their places not paying a dime for 3 years now.

I would not accept a dime from him.
