Hey Dee, BiggerPockets support is super friendly and quick on their feet. https://www.biggerpockets.com/contact-us#customer-supportScroll down to the bottom of the page there's a contact form you can fill out and they typically respond in a few hours. 

Give them a triple net lease (meaning they pay rent, and they're also responsible for insurance, utilities, and maintenance).

Built in 1890, this Old Victorian was converted into a duplex in the 70's by a talented architect who made some unique and extraordinary custom design choices (read Vaulted Sunlights) that make this property truly one of a kind.

You need to investigate and figure it out.If you include utilities with rent, I recommend placing a limit so the tenant is responsible for excess use.

Should I get into contracting with a flipper or custoM home builder for 50k a year 1099 and start my own llc and be a “real estate professional” and learn the ins and outs while making less money at first,  or take a sales job 9-5 that makes 150k a year w2 and build up capital first. 

If you are planning to use a DSCR loan, lenders will want to see a valid lease, utility bill, or official document supporting you are living somewhere else. 

I don't want to pick on you but you recently posted about utilizing land trusts and Wyoming LLC's to purchase real estate in Arkansas and also posted questions  suggesting you were unclear on how general liability coverage works/ is issued for a $170K purchase. 

Hey @Devin Bost, I would highly recommend a few things to help with this. 1) Have systems and processes lined out for any emergency you can think of.2) A spreadsheet of subcontractors/ vendors that could handle the situation that arises (plumbing leak, electric out somewhere, etc.)3) Your cleaning team and handy person should be utilized for some things.4) Something like Breezeway can give you 24/7 support around your property with a dedicated phone number line.

Definitely want to utilize prospective tenants directly paying for background and credit reports during the application process. 

The customers from VRBO were of better quality.
