I've seen every lawyer within an hour's drive and most of them ask "why would you need to start an LLC?"

You can even create a balance sheet if you want to get crazy.I definitely recommend scanning all of your documents associated with the rental using a free app like Genius Scan and get those into some sort of digital document management platform such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

I wouldn't buy a property based on numbers from a turnkey company, agent or wholesaler, but fly or drive out and look at the property and neighborhoods.

Some landlords even have emergency repair protocols that might’ve avoided the locksmith cost altogether.I’d recommend having a conversation with the tenant, maybe offering a compromise like splitting the cost, especially if the root cause isn't clear.

I think it is beneficial to visit the area you are going to invest in, meet the team you will be working with, and explore the neighborhoods by driving around.

@Pat Aboukhaled You always give such great advice with super examples which drive home the points:)

Mail out flyers is the best way.You can drive around the area that you are interested and see if it looks abandoned and find the owner.It's off-market so it means a lot of manual work on finding them. do a simple internet search and you will find many ways.

Safe driving.
