The equity, which invested is worth 10%+ in todays market, is lying dead in a rental property. 

Just remember to analyze your potential property thoroughly as numbers don't lie. 

However, at the same time, preventing mistakes are easier with technology.  

No doubt piper can give you advice on how to put BS and lies in your contract to get out of it but only those with no honesty and integrity work that way.

Technology is the new way of the world.

If he fudged on income, make him a lower offer based on what he reported:)You might not believe this, but people lie in this business!

Anywhere you have low lying areas close to water you're going to have an added carrying cost for flood insurance (unless 100% equity).  

Now we are looking to expand our business so we can have more time flexibility for what ever lies ahead.

In other words, does it matter where the biggest chunk of our money lies, whether it be in the home we live in or the one we rent out?

Very interested in learning more about rental properties and taking the dive.Also interested in learning more about the challenges serial investors have to see if there's opportunity for technology to improve the process.Can't wait to learn more about the industry and to start our first project.
