What is as important is that you require the insurance to be issued with you as the landlord as "additionally insured." 

They'll expect electronic payment options.8) Understanding your local landlord-tenant laws, so you don't make a mistake or get taken advantage of by tenant.9) How will you handle maintenance issues?

I've sent so many follow-ups, and the issues remain.

We agreed to address the issues left by the previous tenant and you did not want us to handle it.

Quote from @Jason Burkart: Quote from @Linda Weygant: A few issues come into play on this.1. 

If similar homes are sitting for 30-70 days, it’s probably a pricing issue.

Meanwhile, the sellers who are most likely to offer creative financing are normally the owners of  real estate that have issues.....condition.....low barrier/over supply market......or perhaps pricing issue, and one of these factors is why its not marketable in a arms length transaction and why creative financing would be accepted.

Hitting these targets could be the key to unlocking lasting investment returns.Before diving in, developers need to complete pre-submittal steps, including issuing a "Notice of Intent."

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?
