Very good lighting inside&out (on a timer), plus motion activated lights as much as possible/appropriate (they make super bright LARGE led ones, even solar now so don't need to be hard wired). 

Last year was light too.  16% occupancy this year vs. 38% in May last year.We haven't adjusted our rates to race to the bottom because we're financially healthy. 

. $30k is a bit light on the dollar amount to invest in a syndication.

. - a home can pass an inspection but once someone is living in it and putting daily stress on the house (turning faucets on, light switches, turning on heat/AC etc), things can start to malfunction.

After finishing the first episode I jumped on here and decided to find and read your posts.Utah is expensive, I've attended a couple of networking events and attempted to ask questions on Facebook forms, people from a popular group called Renatus continue reaching out to me wanting me to pay for a $27k learning program.I read read Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant so far.I am puzzled at how people are finding the deals to begin with and discouraged already that I don't know how to build the skills and where to start to get into this network of investing.Any light that can be shed and tips or guidance would be much appreciated.As a beginner, the only value I would be able to provide to anyone is finding deals, the notice of default list here in my county on a monthly basis is the only thing I've attempted and my yellow letters have never gotten any response.I am willing to help provide value however I can as a beginner.

Would you mind spreading some light in the differences of obtaining properties of preforeclosure and trustee sales?

Still sounds like light work, no more than $10,000-$15,000 ish (On the high end).

If you have some money to bring to the table , see if you can get into a  Joint Venture for the first few flips and keep it small like light rehab etc  ..

The likelihood of all of these occurring is low in a typical subject-to transaction. its why way back in our day we did these with wraps CA has a debt instrument called an All inclusive Deed of Trust it wraps the orginal mortgage it is a second in function my dad had a company called CA wrap back in the day and did hundreds of them.. its de ja vu all over again.. he did this during the Carter interest rate spikes just like sub too is now coming to light in a big way because of interest rate spikes.. 

If you want to be really diligentwith pest control, don’t park next to overhead lights.
