@Matthew Gentile  one main factor to remember Income is critical in this business to obtain financing of any magnitude and a stable well paying W 2 allows you to obtain debt for your RE purchases plus if you have health bene's etc that's critical as your family grows.

You said it was an older home, so remember Virginia has required disclosures like lead paint, and there's a new required tenant rights and responsibilities form that has to be done, some localities require annual smoke alarm tests or rental inspections. 

Investors should do this so they can learn and remember the clauses.

I remember this story.Happened 10+ years ago.Never had any issues in the hood myself.After all, back in the day I was putting the "Good in da Hood" haha What in the holy hell was "Good in da Hood"? 

Hi @Tashanique JonesOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

For example, I remember when Celine Dion bought a "modest three-bedroom home" in Vegas that was over 3,000 feet.

It was an absolute no brainer and I don't remember the last time I bought a deal with such great numbers.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

As a result, careful consideration of the ramifications of the S & A decision is essential when planning internal corporate restructuring transactions involving recorded deeds, as well as in estate planning transactions.CAVEAT❗️❗️❗️This DOES NOTpresently apply to transfers of non-homestead residential property to revocable living trust agreements or land trusts This is limited only to non-homestead properties (such as vacation homes, secondary residences, rental properties, or vacant land)KEY TAKEAWAYSIt is important to remember that a change of ownership or control might not make a difference unless the property has been appreciating at a rate of greater than 10% annually.

Remember you are inside someone's home no matter how disheveled or filthy it is it is still someone's home- respected it as such.
