The game might be slightly different in some areas where there aren't as many 2-4 unit buildings, but there are always strategies like room share, renting out the basement/attic, air bnb, etc.

No to air bnb.Really don’t want to chase bad dollars with good dollars. 

Hello to those reading,I manage a family-owned commercial property and we recently received a letter from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection about installing a backflow prevention device.

I’m active duty Air Force with four properties, three are VA loans.

You can still network and build relationships that way.We are based out of Florida, but we don't usually visit properties even if they are in our hometown because of the time constraints that prevent us from locking in more deals and doing more efficient tasks.

Get everything in writing to prevent misunderstandings.

I've heard so many horror stories, and know I am bound to have some myself, but what are some things that can prevent disaster by including in your lease agreement?

I think your proposition would have helped us prevent less calls from falling through the cracks. 

@Chris RobertsLet's air this out... a mortgage not being reported on your credit does NOT give you a pass for conventional/agency financing. 

Encouraging your tenant to consider vaping could not only help maintain the apartment’s air quality but also align with your lease agreement better.
