1, 2, 3 Go. Best State Landlord Friendly
What's the best state to buy multi family units mainly under 20 doors that's landlord friendly and why? I live in NY (Upstate) and it SUX here I bet most if not all of you can figure out why ........

@Chris Snyder These come up from time to time. I live in NJ which is very unfriendly- but it just causes you to be a better landlord to survive. I see landlords around me go about business half-assed and get upset when they are held accountable and bemoan how difficult it is to be a landlord in NJ. It really isn't, you just need to know the laws, run your business like a business and screen well.
Too many people out there that think this is or should be a passive income/business.
