We calculated the risk of vacancy VS offsetting the loss and chose the known over unknown (basically we took it in the teeth).Rents climbed from 2003 - 2007.

I need to get my title company used to one first...I'll convert one of my rentals to a land trust sometime in the next couple years to cut their teeth on it. 

Also have a sweet but scary Weimaraner watchdog with 1.5 inch claws and serious teeth who acts out by going through drywall in seconds when ignored.)Interview the prospective tenant and the pet together at the property before renting.

But I wouldn't be where I am without cutting my teeth on something.One last thought on subprime tenants - they're always in a recession.

I am needing to network out it seems that attempting that around here is like pulling teeth, but there are a few exceptions like the ones I have met from here.

I had to get a mouth guard to wear at night cause I was grinding my teeth due to stress.

If the seller is allowed by contract to terminate without default on the part of a buyer (and I understand this "may" not be the case), I would seriously consider using another contract form that has more teeth.  3. 

One of the enamels is "washable"... gives you the opportunity to just scrub the walls versus repainting the entire home between tenants.  

With that said, Wholesaling was the avenue I wanted to sharpen my teeth on. 

I want to cut my teeth on SFH rehabs, before I tackle 2-4 units, then onto commercial properties.
