You need to know how to manage risk. 

I do not use a property management service to advertise and have always used Zillow to advertise, previous references, housing records, credit checks etc

I understand Vermont has slightly more stringent regulations to contend with but it would also be closer for us geographically and thus potentially easier to manage. 

While that is pretty far from me, the prices there are far more manageable than my current state and would let me deploy my capital a bit better.

So, as some of you may know, I managed to win my eviction hearing and the judge ordered the tenant to pay.Has anyone tried to collect on these judgements? 

She's our CEO for both our Sales and Property Management companies as well as she co-owns a contracting company with her husband while managing a whole bunch of kiddos!

I work with lots of agents and my team manages 350ish homes in the greater CLT market.

Hi @Desiree Doubrox sounds like poor management. 

Starting out can feel overwhelming, but it's great that you're already thinking about risk management with vacancies.

My mark up is always lower than the direct lender because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl or buying a private jet for my CEO, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.
