This structure provides a way for us to be involved, be protected, and most importantly, build relationships.

And one area that I’m keeping my eye on is Franklin.

LTRs may face eviction issues, their consistent income makes them less risky in the eyes of lenders.

It would most likely not give you asset protection since its a non-arms length transaction.

So far overall my experience with rentredi has been really good (I found them through the BP ads) and I can recommend but I do still get contacted by my tenants for their maintenance requests which is the main drawback of not having a full property manager in my eyes. 

I plan on installing some form of termite protection after purchasing anyway, but is there anyway to make sure I'm not buying a house with a full blown infestation that could become a bigger issue?

I have been graciously turning a blind eye to the occupant and dogs situation for the past.

There are a couple but its going to have to be pretty permanently attached to the land to protect the foreclosure option

I don't have any properties besides my primary residence yet, however I've been keeping an eye on the market.

thanks for the replies, to clarify a bit more, I'm mainly looking for an agent who can be my eyes and ears in the case I'm not able to be there in person to view the property.
