Quote from @Diana Teng: Hi all,I think my question above is pretty direct.I'm interested to buy my first rental property, and after doing a brief search I see that there are quite a number of places out-of-state (I live in NY state)  that offer affordable homes that deem to be in hot market areas right now (according to many different articles online). 

Also just look online and steal some ideas...I used to Google Luxury Kitchens and then figure out how to do the same for less $$.You'll be fine with your experience.

This fourth month, the rent due date passes and I am upset.I write her a 10 day eviction notice (pay or quit).

Thanks,Jake For unemployment data and population growth, government sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau are reliable and up-to-date.

Sure you can get away with it , until a home inspector looks at the dates on electric wire , or pvc pipe .

Tenant covenants and agrees to pay interest at the maximum lawful rate or eighteen percent (18%) interest, whichever is less, compounded annually, on all unpaid Rent, damages, and other amounts owed by Tenant, excluding late fees, from that date of Landlord’s final accounting until such time Tenant pays all such outstanding amounts.

For the property rented in October, utilities and interest before October are capitalized, while expenses after that date are deductible as rental expenses.For the vacant property, all utilities and interest remain capitalized until it is placed in service (February 2025).

I let the booking expire and figured it was a troll.I then get another request from the same person about a month later for the same dates.

You can also find various contracts online, develop your own then have an attorney review it to ensure it has teeth, and is legal in your area.7.
