I don't hate my job at all, I'm very lucky that my job is creative and not boring or anything, but I still have to answer to someone everyday, and I would like to be free of someone over my shoulder and being around the rat race mentality, and I figure since I'm young it'd be good to get a head start in making changes to take control of where my life is headed. 

I got my first deal 10 mins away then my second deal 25 mins away and then 2 more deals 1 hour and 30 mins away. the last one has given me the tools to mentally invest out of state having my A team on the ground to help me manage the properties when I am not too close.

I have a real bad taste in my mouth when it comes to crab-like mentality. 

They have a mental list of hard to collect rent addresses and they may help connect you and the owner. 

Quote from @Samuel Mutschler: This is mental illness, substance abuse, or someone trying to get out of their lease.I would tell them the rental is unsafe and they should leave.

Everyone could do it, It’s a “mental” approach, either you incorporate it or you don’t.

You can always go to them and try to make a deal to have them buy your shares at a discount.The worst part of my deal was the mental energy I wasted thinking about losing the money.

I also keep active in some of the local community organizations in the Collinwood and Euclid neighborhoods and can attest to the strong ownership mentality of the people living in the 44119.

I would take all of that mental bandwidth and focus it on learning how to wholesale.

If both of those answers are no, then they mentally move to the next step.
