You can provide quarterly interest payments, bi-annual, or whatever structure is most desirable for your investors.Use your first property (pictures and numbers help) to solidify your experience and knowledge.

If we walk through the apartments quarterly and notice or suspect things that aren’t right is there anything other then asking them to fix the problem or threatening eviction?

We also have an ordinance the requires all rental properties to be registered with the city, but I would say at best a quarter of the rental houses are registered.

I agree it is rare but I think a few messages back and fourth can give you additional confidence.I have been hosting for over 10 years and I would have no issue renting to this family.  

Happy New Year everyone.I need a new GC.I've set my goals to purchase at least 1 property per quarter for flips.

I used NFCU for the zero down option and it doesn't state needing to be a first time homebuyer; with that loan, it was my fourth property.

Do you proactively treat ever year or quarter?

Yeah i write into the leases that tenants will pay 1/2 of quarterly water bill mailed to them by landlord.

Most tenants can't afford this in one giant lump sum payment so I bill them quarterly based on water consumption.

I'm up to three cabins and planning on getting a fourth sometime soon.
