There is also plenty of other ways to get business, you can do open houses, use social media, door knock, etc.

It also has a garage loft with pool table.

Whether you're trying to sell or lease the unit, a prospective buyer/tenant will be IMMEDIATELY turned off if the current tenant opens the door and says, "What the heck, I was never told you were coming."

Purchase price: $75,000 Sale price: $105,000 I purchased the property as my primary residence with a one bedroom above garage apartment.

@Leo GregoireTo answer your question directly about cash for keys:In rent-controlled states like California, you can sometimes pay 10 to 20 grand a door to get them out.I have never had to go this route before.

We already have a small portfolio, 3 doors, in Omaha, NE where we live, but the market here has gotten too competitive/overpriced.

I'm an avid reader having recently finished Flip, Rent, BRRRR, and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor - all great books, but if there is another to recommend please do or point out chapters in those I should pay more attention to.Thoughts? 

I closed on April 4 and everything has been good with the tenant that the open faucet was feet from there front door.

Hi Penny, I live in the Seattle area, but have 9 doors across Detroit and Memphis.
