I might bring them the lease or coordinate it in some fashion, but my parents will be for the most part and on paper fully envolved.

I am still a beginner in investment, but so far here is what has happened in my life:Since November 2015 I have invested my personal money on a partnership with my partner and I am fortunate enough that so far we have been break event every month.An associate from UK has offered me to be her partner in a start-up global online retail business in fashion.

just fashionably late!

You have got to make the effort.It's just good old fashioned networking.

I personally prefer hard copies, though, but I guess I'm just old-fashioned.  

Glad when they finally left, i just paid for the damages as it wasnt worth my time or money to pursue them for damages.One was a childless couple - no kids, constantly getting deployed in alternating fashion, sometimes they would both be deployed at the same time...which is fine, however they would NEVER ever notify me of their extended absences like the lease specified and during the winter I constantly had to check to make sure they were home or if not that the heat was on or during the summer the AC was on at least a setting somewhere in the low 80's to inhibit mold growth since we have a humid environment.... this couple also bought one dog, then a second if I recall and both are breeds I'd never allow in a rental and they kept them hidden from me every time I was around.  

For this I would recommend looking for those in foreclosure and about to lose their home b/c they would be most likely to work with you in this fashion.  

Many a would be investor has given up in this fashion as well and lost tens if not hundreds of thousands .Key I think is do your own due diligence but I think people put WAY to trust and faith in the hands of property managers when with a little effort, study and patience a lot of the same work can be done more cost effectively.Bottom line in my experience : NO ONE is going to care as much about your property as you are. :)

Buy fashionable, yet not overly expensive furniture from Ikea, online on Kijiji, or from an auction.  

The last but not least example of accumulation is simply those legacy loans that simply do not get dealt with in a timely fashion.
