Like a good unemployed husband listening to the woman who’s name was on our only paycheck and had just birthed our child I complied.

@Arjun S.You married one tough woman.

It's my woman, 9 month and me in the house so there's no option to house hack right now.I had the perfect opportunity to have a solid start in real estate but at the time I wasn't thinking this would be something I want to get into.

Renter is a seemingly mature 50 year old woman with a 16 year old son, dad works away 2 weeks on/ off.

On the day of, I receive a call, a woman asks for me, then a man continues the conversation, says that he’s the guest, and that his wife made the reservation to the wrong address.

I operate in 7 markets and in each market we have a quality control manager or runner, a cleaner with at least 2 backups, and a handyman/woman.

While she was a very attractive woman, I politely declined and drove to the courthouse as fast as I could to file for an eviction.

Woman power!

If the original poster wants to increase equity and create safety (and keep the little woman happy) financially, then maintaining leverage (mortgages) is not necessary if title fraud is a major concern; put the paid-off properties into land trusts. 

Do you think promoters of Thai real estate to foreigners explain that to unsuspecting potential buyers?
