Meanwhile, tax planning questions, if urgent, can be discussed with another tax professional.

Example one of my standards is a minimum of a 600 credit score but one has a 560 and the other has a 770 or I require a background check but one roommate is a student from overseas with no SSN for a background check.

The one thing they did communicate with me was to be careful making extremely low offers since I would be considered a professional and it could negatively impact my business, which made sense.

@Eddie Starr You've got a great advice from a PRO @Bernard ReiszMy suggestion is, instead simply talking about it yourself, consider inviting a local professional to your seminar and have them talk about it.

Most of the investors I work with utilize Airbnb and other STR platforms to list corporate travel accommodations, primarily targeted to business travelers and professionals.

This rings especially true if you a licensed professional.

Once you have a larger portfolio, turn it over to a professional property manager.

Of course, these are suggestions and opinions only - I am, in no way, form or fashion a real estate professional - just a fellow investor in Columbus. 

we have already told friends and family they will be subject to the same background check process but we prefer to not put ourselves in that position at all and will discourage them from thinking about the property for their potential rental.  

Do you hire a professional real estate photographer?
