The company I use, NREIG, just started writing again in some of the northern parishes, but aren't covering large multi-family and are requiring a minimum dollar amount per ft. sq. 

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

But again, as mentioned, get fam with COC, Cap, IRR, etc.You said later you had $80k to invest in a multi family.

@Jackson Pudlo Hey Jackson,I realize you posted this 6 days ago, but both options—SFH and Multi—are great.

Screening and Gaurantors are important, you might want to look at majors for some more serious ones that don't have time to party. 

Quote from @Evan Polaski: Interesting seeing this post and Justin's recent appearance on the Jonathan Greene podcast/YouTube video from a day ago."

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Duck Creek Village.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Madison.

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

You're learning about the eviction process, tenant screening (never "word of mouth" again), the power of a lease WHEN not IF a neutral third party needs to be involved, tenant/landlord laws, and managing tenants who don't care about your business the way you do.
