How we purchased our property: Combination of Savings, Personal Loan with interest from a family member (4% interest) and a cash loan from Wells at about 8%.

People also love the back deck with the string lights and a nice seating area. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Availability and a whatever-it-takes-whenever mindset is critical too.

So I get this referral from a relative about a tenant who has good credit score, no criminal history, and a good paying job.

Once again thank you for all your input and I hope you all have an amazing week and a happy new year!

One day several weeks after close, they sent me an "invoice" via email with no body, just an attachment with a jumble of line items - It included one of the two items they were getting a quote for me on (new flooring), some but not all of the items they were supposed to fix as part of the contract (with prices even though they were paying), and a few other items I was not familiar with. 

Spacious common areas and a quiet neighborhood.I’m drawn to this tenant group because traveling nurses often make great renters—employed, responsible, and in need of temporary housing.

Usually, this is a sign of stability and a preview of the types of people who live in the area. 

This has pluses and minuses.If your property is bulletproof such as no framing - cinder block construction, cement floors, gloss white paint slapped on the walls and a cheap window mount AC, then you are in a prime position to make money with S8.
