I received another email from a “guru” bragging about the apartment building deal that one of his students did that was “no money down”. I read further into his sales pitch and found that it wasn’t a no money down deal. Big surprise.

Actually the apartment building. Discovered and dispatched my first squatter yesterday. It was a lot easier than it could have been. I made a mistake and I was lucky that it didn’t cost me.

You’re giving your tenants access to – and control of – your assets. So do you really think that the best approach is to never talk to them, like some gurus pitch? Seriously?
