And if they tell you their parent has poor credit, have them find another willing co-signer (grandparent, aunt, working older sibling, etc.)Have tenants pay for some kind of renters insurance?

Likewise, performing the ‘due diligence’ around one’s estate so kids and relatives don’t quarrel has been my goal as well after seeing my parents’ siblings others grow distant from each other because of handed down properties without even all the paperwork in one place.

My parents and three siblings (a total of six of us) shared one bathroom when I was growing up.

Hi @Alisa Hilton From investing out of state as well as in San Diego I can tell you the same thing that I tell my own siblings, start with San Diego. 

Her siblings "want to invest, but later".

My first rental took 10y to reach $400/mo Cashflow and I don’t know that it ever truly broke even after CapEx, while its newer sibling rental meets the 3% rule at only 1/5 the purchase price.

As a kid her and her siblings were diagnosed with ADHD (she said they are fed high doses of sugar and crap to get them to spaz out during the observation period) and the parents collected their "disability" checks until they turned 18.

Every one of her younger siblings also graduated.

I have 2 American siblings with dual citizenship. 1 chose to live in the US as an adult, and 1 chose to live in Canada. 

I lived in a trailer with my two siblings for several years growing up.
