Your walking a fine line. If the first people are qualified and you decide to let someone else move in, despite their deposit. Your leaving the door wide open for discrimination lawsuits. I would consider talking to a lawyer to make sure you can pick someone else b4 doing so. If they can and they sue finding tenants is no longer your problem. My lawyer told me very bluntly if someone is qualified fully and their application came in first, don't even consider another tenant or you might find yourself not being a landlord for long. Best of luck!

@Steve Meyers I'm sure there is in some of the bigger cities. We have some around here cuz we have a giant lake that's an attraction but in general but don't think they do very well. To me at least you can't beat a long term rental. Air bnb is more of a second job.

That's a no brainier especially if your wanting to brrrr. Buy the brrrr book! It's in my drawer right now almost done with it. You feel like a master re investor just reading it.

If I wanted to invest anywhere else it would probably be Florida.

@Steve Meyers it may be my personal bias because I live here but I LOVE Indiana. Taxes are dirt cheap compared to other places like Ohio and prices/rents are similar. you don't grow your wealth as fast as a Cali home will but you'll cash flow great.

Lvp or lvt is hands down my favorite. That and a fresh coat of paint can change a house from a crappy outdated house into a modern home.

What a silly question. What does your wife do when Macy's has a 50% off sale?!? We are going to do the same thing! Only all the money we blownwilo be worth twice as much in the future where as hers ends up in a garage sale for 30% the original value ours will end up 230% the original value 😂

@Pete Storseth without sounding rude your going to have to make more money or get owner financing. 23k a year is only acceptable as a high schooler or college kid just trying to get some spending money. You can go to any factory and make 40-70k a year and it will get you where you Want to be.

Absolutely never! I lived on a 3 acre property with 2 houses and a giant pond. Our landlord basically allowed anything and it turned into a crap load of chickens, 10 ducks, 4 dogs, and several cats. They rented it to me way under market value and I still had to leave because all the animal poop everywhere. Last I heard he was building a pen for a goat.
