I also want to build my network here with other likeminded people who see the power in real estate.

Hello,I'm currently looking to buy my first rental. Looking at both Duplexes and SFH. I make around 180k living on the west coast. I currently have around 20k cash for a down payment and that is steadily increasing so...

City recently did a building inspection and we noticed the tenant is smoking in the unit (cigarettes and marijuana), food waste everywhere leading to building pest issues, and there are 5 people living there now (3 adults and 2 kids).

I agree more people need to inquire. 

People are always looking off-market but sometimes there are hidden gems hiding in plain site.

But while I had my properties in section 8 it was generally fine.Like any, if you show respect to the property and tenants, they will typically show respect to you and the property. 

- Even though we structure it to be like a regular LTR as much as possible, ultimately this is still a partnership and the two sides have to have a certain level of trust/respect that's beyond a typical landlord/tenant relationship. - For the right people (landlord who wants hands-free ownership but achieve higher than normal LTR rate, and arbitrager who has the skills and extra bandwidth, AND has confidence in their own ability), I think this kind of arbitrage model is a win-win.I'll be operating in the Triangle area.
