I introduced myself to the guy cutting the locks and asked if they were considering selling in the near future.

When I was outfitting my rental property, I opted for new appliances to attract tenants with the promise of reliability.

I feel like I’m in a good place, but I have over $900k locked up in equity.

Or are you an introvert like to lock yourself in an office and review documents all day?

But I also tell them the house isn't locked up until I receive a hold deposit.I keep doing showings until I get a hold deposit from someone I've qualified.

Keep that money moving like it’s on a treadmill.Build a Team: Have a solid team in place – a reliable contractor for renovations, a property manager if you don’t want to self-manage, and a good lender.

And it is only like 20 bucks/year like others mentioned so unless you plan on being locked in analysis paralysis for a year you will not even save that much...YES if you are buying turn key and plan on using property manager for everything. 

Can I include this to above statement in their leases or anything that would be giving me a right to simply throw their stuff or them out by changing the lock key codes and never have to worry about anything else?

Find YieldHeck... who knows, once I get to this level, I'll probably put 90% with a trusted and experienced sponsor, keep 10% locked away for a rainy day, and with all the cash flow donate and serve various charities around the world.

I'm setting up our basement apartment as an Airbnb and need a recommendation for a reliable cleaning service.
