The idea of eventually owning multiple properties that produce a steady cash flow is extremely appealing, however, I understand that I have A LOT to learn. 

I get multiple books and I think they are all worth it.  

My family has been here for multiple generations and has always been very involved in the area, including on the real estate front, so I have deep roots in and love for the place, and come by my interest in real estate honestly :-) Professionally, I'm an interior designer specializing in high end residential design for successful, busy professionals, and aging-in-place/universal/accessible design, for those who either need it now or (preferably) want to plan ahead, just in case, knowing that at least 68% of us will be disabled in some way eventually, or who know they have some health issues for which they know they will eventually need to make some modifications to their homes if they want to continue to live there. 

You can get one commercial loan for multiple investment properties.  

Staging coupled with professional photography of a home increase traffic and, for me at least, that's always led to getting multiple offers within a week of putting one of my homes on the market.  

I find there's always a gold nuggets of information in each one and I go back to listen to a number of them multiple times.

Hi there I have a tenant who has been chronically late with rent since the lease began, first it was a week late, then 2 weeks, then a month...tenant pays eventually after multiple phone calls and reminders. 

I submitted my original offer on and AIR  form and received pushback from the listing broker.They didn't have an issue with us representing our sleeves but did request we resubmit the offer on the commercial CAR form.After multiple email exchanges I picked up the phone and essentially told them the buyer, and entity I control, had made an offer on the form of their choice and it was within the scope of their fiduciary duty to present that offer to the seller, in this case a local bank.I was told they could only work on CAR forms because it was a mandate from their principal broker, and "require by their E&O insurance carrier".I simply informed them that their broker did not have the option to mandate the type of offer a buyer could make, and E&O insurance doesn't cover contract type rather it covers professional conduct.Reluctantly they submitted to the bank.

I believe you will get multiple answers depending on who you ask.
