    Burnt out affiliate millionaires? Fastlane or no?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Absolutely, I see your logic there. I wish I got into some kind of internet based business years ago like a lot of you guys but unfortunately that's not the case. Now I'm trying to play catch up I and it seems AM is a good learning vehicle and could provide some cash flow. As far as I can...

    I'm going through your old AMA on the topic - gotta say it's excellent.

    I can imagine that would be like a punch in the stomach Uh oh! That old love/hate thing again!

    Burnt out affiliate millionaires? Fastlane or no?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Oh man I didn't realize affiliatte marketing was such a controversial topic at the forum! I did some digging around and found other older threads discussing and arguing the pros and cons. A few intense discussions for sure! I think I now see why it could be considered 'not-fastlane' but...

    Is Chasing Money Your Road Block To Wealth?

    MINDSET 
    Bullseye. That is sooooo true. It's like a tailspin that gets worse with time unless you conciously pull out of it. Great thread!

    Burnt out affiliate millionaires? Fastlane or no?

    That's a nice little asset that you've created, seems pretty passive. It sounds like a lot of work I guess but seems worth it to me to get another one or two up there. Of course that's just my opinion from the outside since I have yet to create my 1st lol.

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Just a thought here to anyone reading: Listen to @SteveO if there's any doubt regarding tenant selection. I posted to try to save headaches for landlords, certainly not to create a new one.

    Exactly. Everybody that walks through the door gets the VIP treatment. Super nice and courteous from start to finish even if their 9 kids are doing wrestlemania in the living room.

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yea I'm willing to risk it - but on the surface I'm not sure any potential tenant would know the difference. They all get treated equally when viewing the unit, all get the same questions, and I tell them I'm collecting applications from whoever is scheduled. Then I run the best pick and boom...

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yes couldn't agree more. Good peeps want to live in nice houses in nice areas, and usually conduct themselves accordingly.

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    You would definitely know better than me - you've done many multiples of my experience. I knew you can't discriminate in any way shape or form with tenants but I wasn't aware that we're required to rent in that way. What I do would appear to be in line with that though anyway. I certainly...

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I do a credit/background check and verify employment. I don't ask for refereces from previous owners becuase I feel that if the tenant was a bad apple then the landlord might lie and exaggerate in the other direction telling me how great they are just so they could get rid of the tenant. I...

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yes in New Jersey. Fortunately I haven't had any part of the eviction process for about 8 years because everything has been a good fit. But if someone doesnt pay my process is like this: Keep in mind I've already explained how it works to the tenant from day 1 so there's no surprises. I...

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Sure. It's a very loose 'system' just based on common sense and my own experience: 1. Always try to pick well qualified tenants that show me during the 1st viewing of the place that they totally LOVE the place. I want them to really want the place almost to the point of showing nervousness...

    So sorry the thread took a wrong turn, I was just trying to share my .02 on tenant selection. Didn't forsee it going down that path and certainly not my gender worldview but the member who posted his crappy reply.

    A Word of Caution Regarding Cheap Real Estate

    REAL ESTATE 
    100% agree and I'm speaking from experience. Yes those houses throw off a healthy cashflow but your other points are spot on. We have a few of those and they are a different animal than the ones in the more middle class areas where the value slowly grows instead of dwindling. Yep big difference.

    Real Estate Investing: dream or nightmare?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yes landlording does involve bullshit for sure but it can be minimized. Since 2007 I can count on 1 hand how many arguments or incidents I've had with any of my tenants, and those were quickly worked out and minor. Zero evictions or court dates and I have multiple 3, 4, and 5 year tenants...

    REAL ESTATE 
    (I'm clearly not up to speed on all rental laws and big thanks to @SteveO and @jon.a for clarifying some of the legalities regarding these situations. I posted to try to educate others but have become the educated in the process.) *** Little bit of a rant with a moral to the story below...
