Great hosts will be good neighbors, will contribute to local tourism and will pay their taxes and permit fees* A major area to improve on the proposal is the 1 hour time-limit for resolving complaints.

Since part of your property is a rental, I believe a portion of your mortgage interest should be a tax deduction unlike your other debt.

For example, this investor that I met recently said not to buy properties at tax auction for 100+ different reasons.

I recommend that you look at Notice of Defaults, Vacants, Tax Liens or Probate. 

The data they pull from the tax records on how much a home last sold for, often not updated, or completely wrong.

These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

Like most markets, there is a growing trend in the area due to affordability and increasing more things to do. 

There is enough demand on the north side you should never have a tenant issue if you do the correct due diligence.Secondly, lots of fake applicants lately.

Low barrier to entry, low taxes, landlord friendly, some amazing class A and B suburbs and a strong urban core. 

What I learned from the rental was the due diligence importance of finding the right tenants.
