I was wondering if I could get some advice on ways to go about achieving that down here because obviously that is vital in achieving success in real estate.

To highlight a scenario that seems to play out often in rentals owned by BPers, a tenant will decide its time to move in a dog, shady romantic partner, or acquire a new annoying habit that has any good landlord/PM ready to serve notice that they're violating their lease.

If you do pick up tell them that the vacancy was filled, and thanks for their interest.Geez, that land is cheap and won't help you much.Okay, it is vitally important you confirm the lot rent.  

The house was not even habitable but they were affirming prior decisions and the issue boiled down to penalties.

Develop a habit like that and you'll find you now have extra time to invest in education or any action that will help you get closer to your goals.
