I’m newly interested in start my investing career and I’m trying to do it smart.

The smart money in the fancier single-family space right now is selling in my area.Most of my single-fam rentals are 1%ers at least.  

If they say you can afford $3500/mo but  you know that you like to have money for eating out a lot, concerts, travel, whatever, then be smart.  

Will a tenant break the glass on that door if he pushes the door to the garage wide open?

You could use equity to get rid of the PMI if you bought smart/forced appreciation. 

Find a mentor there maybe would be smart before i get into anything. 

Once we've done the showing the next step is the online application with Transunion My Smart Move.  

Go to your local rent court proceedings for eviction - you surely will find some referrals thereAsk the tenant to manage themselves - they can call for maintenance - and deposit their rent check into your account at the bank when due - give them deposit slipsTrain someone to do the things you don't want to do - pay them a percentage of the rent - there are lots of folks who would love to do this for youManagement takes a big bit out of your profits - be smart save the bucks - do it yourself - it ain't that hard.

If he gets smart with you; tell him you're hiring a lawyer to recover your losses.  

I think it is smart to go into it knowing your areas that you need help with.
