Expert Profile: Stefani Nachatilo

Expertise:  I can answer basic beginner questions like "How do I get started buying my 1st rental property" and "What to look for when taking an application on a tennant." "Here`s what capital I have to work with -- what are my options?"

Experience in the area
I started purchasing rental properties in 1995 with my husband, part-time, while working a full time job. We started with very little seed money. One year we purchased 11 single family units. Recently we bought 5 properties in 2 months. We purchased our 1st small apartment building in 2004. I am now managing our units and doing property investing and management full time.

Publications
My Husband and I have written a book for the new real estate investor, "Weekend Warrior's Guide to Real Estate Investing", published by Tate Publishing. Can be purchased from TatePublishing.com or Amazon.com. Have been published in Real Profits by Carlton Sheets and Discount Buyer's Association monthly magazine.

Our goal with our rental properties is keeping tenants longer, collecting rents timely and easier and at the same t
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  You can invest your own IRA or 401K money into real estate. In some cases the gain is absolutely tax free! Really!
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The horror stories that you hear about tenants tearing up a house do happen, but they're rare. Screening up front saves a lot of headaches later.

Thanks Stefani, I needed an opinion to be sure my head was on right and over-reacting.
