In Florida, I've drafted lease provisions where the landlord has access to certain portions of the premises during the tenancy, but never for actual occupancy.

Lower-income renters tend to generate significantly higher maintenance and turnover costs.I thought the same thing.Paper figures always look great but real life is different.If I get any one of our investors 8% net net year after year, I pop the champagne.Not an easy feet at all...

I would start looking at what type of properties you're going to acquire and where and then start backing into what they might cash flow and cost and where that money is going to come from. 10 year back of the napkin model/ assumptions1 unit at $60k is $18k down payment at 70% LTV and lets just assume it cash flows $100/month no matter what for easy math.

So if you are self managing your property and it’s under an LLC and you lock the doors and do not give them access - guess what - the tenant does not sue the LLC fairy - they sue the LLC and the person who committed the act.

@Ashley AndersonTypically a HELOC and HEL are second mortgages and they can be a good way to access capital to invest, but the problem with using them is the interest rate is typically even higher than the debt you can get on the new purchase, so they might not be a great idea unless you plan to aggressively pay them down when you use them. 

Do you want tenants to have access to a portal where they can make rent payments, submit maintenance requests, and view lease terms?

It is not easy to do on your own if you have never done it before.

I am in KC and have access to fourplexes here. 

A nicely renovated 2 bedroom with a decent layout can get you $1800 pretty easy.

I wouldn't worry too much yet but if after a couple more days of no activity, I would bring the price down a bit to be closer to the top end of the market and see if there are recent comparables that have been rented (especially if you have access to the MLS)
