I have a tenant, moved in with less than perfect credit,  About 50% debt to income ratio and unstable job history. I took gamble needing to get  the rent coming in and almost 4 years later they have been the best tenant. Hardly call, paid rent late twice (notified me 10 days prior) and take decent care of the home and yard. I couldn't been happier with them.   

On the flip side, I have another tenant who makes 35% debt to income and stable rental and job history and they are late almost every other month on rent. 

Gut told not to rent to the first one and to rent to the second, boy was I wrong and I worked full time in Real Estate Sales/Rentals.  Follow your what you thing feels right and it should all work out just fine, of course, with clear expectations and a signed lease.

Hi Frank,

Thank you much for your quick reply. My email address is [REMOVED] The system would not let me PM you.

Looking forward to this potential investment, just wanted to make sure my bases are covered. Real Estate is my passion and expertise but looking to diversify and make a bit more with a little less upfront investment.

Thanks again, Cheers!

Hello- Just came across this post. Do you still have those documents? I would love to take a look at them. I am currently looking to possibly invest in a laundromat.

Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for the same thing. I currently Live in the Claremont area. Have you found anyone?

@brandon. After making an offer and waiting 10 months the short sale went through. Lucky for me and not so lucky for the bank, I walked in with approx 60k of equity because the market was quickly turning upwards in the area. It's been problem free with little repairs along the way for about a year now and I couldn't be happier.

@brian. I've also been contemplating out of state. Have friends and family in Arizona and also heard the market is decent in Vegas. I just always heard the rule if you can't drive by it don't buy it, so I have been hesitant what is your expirence with that?

I also work full time with varying schedule. I communicate with my tenant and real estate agent via text message often so that maximizes my time. Also have my contractors speak directly with my tenant as they choose to be at the property when something goes wrong. It's always going to be a time commitment but the benefit is the monthly positive cash flow.

Hello, my name is Jason and after working in the industry for 4+ years and now working for a global hospitality I have recently purchased my first investment property In the next 5 to 10 years I would like to live solely off of my real estate investments.
