Tenants are not friends, they are not family.

Verifying rental history often takes a long time tocomplete due to applicants not giving us correct landlord contact information, landlords not returning our callsor refusing to give us any details.We also deal with applicants trying to have family or friends pose as theirlandlords.

A friend of mine, who's been investing in Austin for years, mentioned that this approach is opening up more opportunities for both developers and residents.In my own experience here in Phoenix, flexible zoning has been a game changer.

The biggest issue I found when I started off while living in San Francisco is going to be the high entry points for investment properties + the landlord laws not being that friendly. 

I have an LLC and a friend of mine has an LLC.

I do have a friend that has larger homes with 5+ bedrooms and she does well on VRBO and only uses that platform.

Before that, a friend of my cousin lived there rent-free as well.Attempts to Resolve the Issue: I’ve made three attempts to resolve the situation by speaking with my aunt about either selling the property or negotiating a buyout of my share.

I’ve got a network across the states and can connect you with investor-friendly folks in Dallas who understand what it's like to get that first deal going.

I live in Southern California, have family in Tennessee (Nashville), and real estate friends in Indianapolis.
