I don't charge security deposit or move in fee nor do I care about credit. 

If you’re looking for a single-family home under $200,000 and you don’t care what city or county it’s in and you simply wanted to meet the 1% percent rule, you might be able to find that.

My purpose behind my decision to pursue REI is to gain financial freedom for wife and I, my future family as well as have the ability to make sure my parents are well taken care of once they reach the retirement age.If I had to label myself I’d want to be known as an open minded rental investor for all long term, mid term and short term investing, with the occasional flip for quicker capitol to put back into another rental.

As someone who has read Harry Potter, it seems the best way to get the attention of the landlord is to send a scary looking giant to their home residence with a kindly worded letter.More seriously, I was on the other side of the coin previously where my wife put the ads up under her accounts instead of mine, so I couldn't check them without getting on her phone and I was inundated with people looking to see the property (probably 50 over a 5 day period) and was trying to send semi-personalized notes to each one--and it all ended up being too much to handle and I ended up ghosting or not replying to many people after I found an applicant. 

I look for properties where the owners don't much care and just want money and then I pay cash with quick settlement.

While we are reading about fun cases, there is a frequent buyer in Texas that just took a case to the SCOTUS, but they declined to hear it. 

Think about what renters in your target market value most, such as green spaces, community centers, or high-speed internet access.BTR is a rapidly growing sector, and careful planning of these factors can help ensure your project is successful.
