@Jemini LeckieIf investing locally is not in the cards I would do some research and pin point a market that fits what you are looking for and then reach out in the forums for that specific market and ask more detailed questions.

While podcasts, books, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll buy a specific property in a specific location, subject to local rules and regulations.

Rent control laws are market specific.

Specifically:1.

I would focus specifically on markets that are landlord-friendly.

Im no legal expert but belief if you get foreclosed on 2nd home and you still owe money they can come put lien/go after first house.

How does that work when you are not yet the legal owner of the property?

In that case, you’d typically need to file a legal challenge, which could involve going to court and showing that the restriction is unnecessary or unreasonable.The best advice I can give would be to consult a real estate attorney to understand your specific situation and options.

In total, including money lost from rent, legal fees, and repairs, the situation cost almost $30k.

Owner ended up settling with the tenant, but then we had to threaten to sue our own client to get them to pay our legal fees.- Owner must sign a Hold Harmless to indemnify us against any potential tenant lawsuits relating to the work their contractor is doing.--- Another lawsuit resulted from owner's contractor taking down basement handrail to get supplies down the steps, then they didn't put it back and tenant fell down the stairs.- We also negotiate a reasonable completion date, depending on the Scope Of Work (SOW). --- Who gets all the phone calls and wastes time calming a tenant down because the owner's contractor doesn't show up as scheduled after they took time off from work or a 3 day job takes 3 weeks?
