Sometimes, the more old-school approach like posting on local community boards can help you find reliable tenants.

Our target towns are not in the urban centers but more suburban towns with good schools are moderately priced homes for families.

I did hundreds of them .. then the crash happened and well things in the BRRR world stalled and then of course the new buy and BP coined the term like it was something new.. but its old old school for sure. 

Now think of this "work" as a combination of trade school and actual work.

And it's not only the homes, you also have to fortify your grocery stores, schools and anything else.

Eastpointe has a semi-decent school district, and the area overall is seeing a population growth.

They are nearing retirement and have children in school.

For family life, there are great communities with good schools and a lot of kid-friendly activities.

When I graduated I decided to pursue a career in becoming a real estate agent!
