To be honest I would spend more money and get my 1% on North of Baltimore.You should be able to get more than 1% around 21213.FYI, Baltimore in general housing stock is old, when you do moderate renovation like paint, vanity change, new carpet etc... you will definitely have plumbing issues along the way.I would strictly do section 8 in 21213, you can end up in eviction court pretty often othewise.

@Russell Bundy, highly recommend you use the search function, as there could be posts from all over with people talking about BAM.There is also an entire subforum of Syndication reviews.  

Would the FL Land Trust be considered the local entity that can act in FL court (eviction, code enforcement, ...)?

As a PM, I would be worried if a new owner did not ask me at least some of the following:- Company Specifics: first question should be are they licensed (how many properties do you manage, what type/class of properties do you manage, how many property managers on the team, how many years have they been in operation)- Pricing (what is the cost to manage the property (ies), is there a leasing fee (commission structure), is there an onboarding fee, is there an early termination cost, are there ad-hoc costs for maintenance, tenant screening, or miscellaneous costs - such as to appear in court if you have an eviction)- Service offerings (do you have a maintenance team, do you come equipped with a list of contractors/vendors, do you offer the software and portal access for tenants/owners, etc.)- Financial Services (you (owner) should think about what you want the PM to handle, if it is everything from paying bills to insurance procurement to P&L statements then ask that, if you don't want the PM so heavily involved in financials and just more on the surface level of the operations of the property then that is okay too!

With a second cause you sue for delinquent rent, late fees, damage, et al.You can file a first cause alone, a second cause alone, or a combined first and second.My question:  If you plan on filing a second cause (i.e. the deadbeat renter is gone and you have possession), how do you find out where he is to serve him the court summons? 

LT court is incredibly difficult.

If cash flow is your main goal, I'd recommend looking into Dayton, Washington Court House, or Cleveland. 

I had to pay $600 to have the roof fixed, so since it wasn’t fixed and I have signed statement from the roofer that there is no evidence of repairs ever being made, can I take him to small claims court?

On the day you go to court, the tenant drops $50 to you through Zelle.

Don't go to court on your own.
