They will either be demanding or can just barely afford it now and you will run into payment issues...PASS....If you are getting low traffic, then its often advertising.

I went with a realtor who was the seller's agent and I barely negotiated at all.How did you finance this deal?

On the other hand I'm not really interested in houses where i'm barely breaking even hoping for appreciation. 

Your purchase plus rehab and holding costs are barely covered by the exit value and then you still have resale costs too.

Print it off, study it, highlight it, and keep it handy for reference.At the bare minimum, you should know:How to determine market rent for your unitsHow to set rental criteriaHow to screen applicationsState law regarding due dates, late fees, and the eviction processHow to handle late rent professionallyHow to evict a tenant for non-paymentHow to get rid of a problem tenantYou could easily read those two books, study your state law, and then develop WRITTEN procedures for handling these issues within a month.

@Chad Urbshott - The ones I had in FL when the purchaser did not perform it barely covered the costs to refile.

Contractor said $20K is barely cutting it but $30K will take care of everything.

That's all costs considered.I'm hesitant to let a moneymaker go to barely performing, especially since rental cashflow is my goal and to quit my job and make real estate my full time, but if it's in the name of expanding my portfolio I think it's justifiable.

You can have a good experience with OOS investing if you are smart and methodical about it, and know what the market will bare in terms of rental rates.

After about 3 emails where I asked him basic questions about what I can expect from his material, he will respond back with his audio message, where you can barely hear what he has to say because he mumbles, that you'll  have to upgrade to the mentor program (10k) before he'll continue communicating with you.
