Hello from Houston TexasI am an advanced newbie which means i am reading the books, listening to the podcasts so i can dive into my 1st SFR buy. 

I would love to be wrong though.Also, for the standard 15 day late fee - if rent is due on the 1st don't assess the fee on the 15th.

They get to book recovery and you get a property and the homeowner gets a second chance to move on.

In my standard welcome email, I express how I want to provide a 5-star experience and for them to please let me know if I can do anything to improve their stay.  

I also have been into index funds, and eventually want to move all into real estate- The podcasts are great, and I would reccomend the books as well A residential 3-4 unit is a great start, I started with a house hack. 

I tried taking a free Landlord class in the area just to get my feet wet but it fell through so I decided to take action myself and bought several books of Amazon.

As a new investor, I only have background in books and podcasts. 

Getting an actual "guaranteed" return is a standard that most can never meet and it's one of the reasons why the SEC does not like these claims.

I am new and firmly in the education stage of my future real estate career I have read some great books and have been listening to the pod casts non stop.

If you're interested in reading more about finding your niche, I wrote a book on this exact subject.
