Being a normal person and giving someone a heads up has not bit me, yet.In addition to what the law requires, I always shoot the tenant a heads up either via text, call, or email.If they are mostly responding to email, then shoot them an email.Emojis and gifs work wonders in today's day in age.

We also have installed SimpliSafe (and signs about ongoing monitoring outside of the property).As someone else mentioned, it is best to have a plan not to go long stretches without checking in person.

Any person ever worked with Paul Argueta (Dispodragons) or Alex Martinez (Real Estate Skills) as a mentor/coach, what has your experience been like?

I did a one-year personal coaching with RichDad in 2008.

I'm only one person.

Personally, I bought a 3 bedroom house as my first purchse and lived there while renting bedrooms and 2 bedrooms rent paid all of the mortgage payment and 2/3 of the utilitites.

Did your borrowers mention securing your investment with a recorded mortgage or deed of trust, personal guarantees, lender’s title insurance, or anything else?

I will say unique properties can sit since you are finding the "right" person.

Bonus points if you have worked with them and have personal experience.The property is in South Carolina, if that matters. 

. (#1 appreciating city 2023)I personally make well over $100k/yr cash flow from 21 properties here.
