Horror #4: we rented a 3/2, 1120’ SFR to a minister, his wife, and 4 home schooled children.  

There are many inspirational BP podcasts where people talk about how they started, with much smaller properties!

For inspiration, I use Columbo as my role model.

Families with small children will avoid the property.

We don’t have a website yet and have been talking about it, so you have inspired me! 

It is for a 3BD (including master suite overlooking a lake), 3Bath, nice neighborhood.I'm trying to figure out the wear and tear I can expect from different prospective clients like:- Teenagers- Children- Boys vs. girls- Old vs. young- Extended family (e.g. grandma, mom, daughter in the house)- Other?

The analysis may change depending on if you are flipping, wholesaling, buying-and-holding, etc. and also whether you plan to use financing or not.You'll also want to start thinking about such things as can you transfer your ownership share - what if one partner has children he wants to leave it to? 

The two biggest sources of information/inspiration have been Bigger Pockets (BP) and a financial blog called Mr Money Mustache (MMM).

I would respectful, polite and sympathetic as if if were a friends children.

Rock's story was very inspiring!
