Getting started on your first flip is an awesome process and I am glad you are working on building your network before diving in! 

I just kind of jumped in.

(I am strongly considering a number of cities that are located in the states we're already in)I don't want to do it for the sake of doing it, but rather because there are tangible benefits.

Do you typically meet people in person to sign the lease and move them in?

I gave in.

@Chris Furcolo When a seller refuses to allow your contractor in, I get very nervous. 

But as reality sets in, I probably can't swing both financially at the same time. 

Now we know our all in is 2,100,000 and our yearly gross potential is 842,400.

Not a whole lot you would need to ask the agent, You need to do your homework on the property, search your own comps, know your costs on the renovation like the back of you hand, and learn the areas your intending on flipping in, ie recent home sales, crime etc.

Hi Guys,Brand new landlord here and was hoping the BP family could help.I had some tenants move in and signed a lease indicating no pets and making no meantion of any emotional support animal.One month after move in, I drove to the property and they had a dog.
