Landlord can require tenants to be responsible for separately metered utilities, so can avoid waste.Landlord can get annual small increases in rent.NegativesMost of us don’t treat something we get for free the same way we treat something we’ve worked hard to obtain.S8 applicants claim “broke” and don’t like to pay application feesSame goes for security depositsS8 tenants, in our experience, tend to cause more property damage than non-S8 tenants. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

I don't delegate bookkeeping for security reasons.I finally realized that at this time in my life, it is much better for me to pay a bookkeeper. 

@Sol BergrenBP had a legend on their podcast episode 399: Jeff Thorman who discussed this common problem.My experience there's a handful of root causes:- Subfloor is not level - in which case this is bound to happen no matter how well you installed- Improper installation - I've found the planks seem tight when they typically have a small bit they could get tighter which is why I always use a scrap piece of the interlocking flooring, then while installing each piece of flooring, I pull into place manually as best I could, then use the scrap flooring to lock into the open side of the piece I'm installing and tap with a hammer as needed until the pieces is truly secure in place.

I’m looking for some guidance on my next steps toward achieving financial freedom through real estate.My long-term goal is to acquire enough rental properties to secure my financial future.

I'm particularly passionate about Wholesaling, flipping and now getting into BRRR method for long term hold investing. 

A good tenant usually wants security and I want "good" tenants. 2.

Assuming it's written in your management agreement somewhere that states the owners are current on all financial responsibilities related to the property, does anyone require them to actually provide a current mortgage statement, HOA payment record, taxes paid, etc..... at least at the time of the original management agreement signing.Recently had a new owner sign the agreement, only to find out after we had secured a new tenant for them, that they were in financial distress to say the least (inquiring about bankruptcy) .

When you start to feel like you are starving for real estate, you are fodder for everyone out there who wants to wholesale you a dump on seller finance or some other quick method that won't work.Your only job if you want more real estate is to create more capital for yourself and more equity in your current home.

It will depend on the amount of security you are offering, the attractiveness of the interest rate, and your ability to raise cash, among other things.

Whether you’re trying to find off-market deals, build a pipeline of motivated sellers, or scale up your operations, there are some game-changing tools and methods that can seriously boost your efforts.I’m really passionate about helping others take their business to the next level, and I’ve seen firsthand how these approaches can deliver results.
