There are plenty of people who want to get into a home.

Even so, most people choose to buy coverage for things even if there's a 99% chance they won't need it.  

In The Tampa Bay Area local investor in the items inside the home/business but looking to get with the right people to build a team.

I don't see it as an issue but many still do, at least in my small town where the majority of renters are elderly people looking for low maintenance housing options.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Some questions for the people with experience: What are some basic landlord problems I will most likely run into?

Last time I checked only people who have lost a home are those who do not pay.

Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself.

How would you like to be a tenant waiting on a repair because the owner wants 3 bids for everything and not only will that delay the repairs, but you'll have 3 people coming through your home everytime you make a maintenance request?

So they would first payoff the first mortgage, if there is a second then $ goes to the second and if anything above that goes to any other lienholders or the homeowner.There are a lot of people who invest in 2nd mortgages because they are cheaper than a first, but in Ohio (not sure all counties) you have to pay off the first at foreclosure so if you do not have the money to pay off the first you are out of luck.
