For instance in Little Rock AR, a market that I am active in, I like the areas that are just west of downtown because there is a river to the North and a freeway to the south and not much infill land available.

My big, giant, red flag concern is that there is virtually no job growth in this area.

This is an exciting time in the states where these cannabis laws are passing, and we intend to continue to navigate through the surrounding regulatory red-tape to find quality properties with high potential future values.

From that lesson, I have seen the same red flags on other deals and now have the know-how to walk away with $0 expense and only 15 minutes lost.  

This fork is between continuing with my plan to start a windshield repair buisness (rock chips, scratches, long cracks, headlight restoration), or commit to a w2 income at a local Car lube shop.

For rentals I've had great luck with #2 Red Oak.

I'm sure there are red flags and contract language I need to look out for that normal landlords with monthly tenants do not have to be aware of.Please PM me if you have been in this situation as a landlord!

It is still possible but the amount of red tape you the lender/seller have to go through usually makes it cost prohibitive unless you are a big time player.

Unless you are a well known investor with a great track record of success, zero interest is a huge red flag.

Very large with tons of moving parts and red tape.
