Live in one half, rent out the other.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

It's even worse for landlords "The company is also asking for rate hikes of 38% for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants, with the rates taking effect May 1."

The group is on a small summer holiday now, but I’ll arrange some meetups in the beginning of September!
