One of my friend happens to be a RE agent, landlord and a property manager himself and he seems to feel that as long as she pays rent on time and does not create nuisance, not to worry much and just keep do a quarterly property inspection.

I can just say I only paint the wall with my friend and paint the floor and paint kitchen cabinate.

Or, if you're single, stay with a friend for a month or two if they're open for that.

Can you count purchases made by friends/family as expenses?

I was reading up about it, and saw that the cons of oil heating include needing to top up the oil supply, lower efficiency (than gas and electric), and potential leaking of tanks leading to environmental issues.Is anyone familiar with oil heated homes?

Myself and my buddy we have been friends for more than 15 years  and we decided to get into real estate through a multi family Househack.

Turns out being a business friendly state pays off. 

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

I was just discussing this with a friend a couple days ago.

Hey friends!
