What are some added security measures that you have or have heard of someone putting in their contracts?

(There is an acronym which I learned it is called SMART which means: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) Look it up.3. 

If you don't know where you're aiming then you'll never get where you want to be....I found this to be true not only with golf but also with investing and a bunch of other aspects of life.Set your target first and then fill in the blanks.

My aim is to find something at a reasonable price point (<$75k all-in) whether it be turnkey or something that needs a little rehab.

I can install Google Analytics to measure how much traffic my website is generating, which allows me to then install a code for retargetting ads that will follow that site visitor.

For example, we aim to collect rent that is double what are mortgage would be.

You should be allowed to have your contractor do a walkthrough and at least measure and estimate for this worst case scenario so you can determine if its still worth the effort.

I also don't charge the highest rental for the area, I try to aim for the median. 

Contracts with deadlines with positive and negative measures for finishing early or late

Would you rather do a buy & hold (holding period of at least 10-15 years) rental investment in a "boring" low growth market but achieve 1% rule or invest in a "hot" growth RE market, aim for appreciation but only achieve a 0.65-0.70% rent/purchase ratio?
