If the buyer is losing money on his investment, and walks away without gain, then by definition there is no “equity skimming”.  

If your first investment goes South you run the risk of putting your home in jeopardy.

How much do you expect to invest?  

We own a rental investment property in our personal names which we intend to sell and do a 1031 exchange to buy a commercial NNN property.

I think high risk dogs might not be worth it Maybe lower risk pets could provide a pet fee and give me a bigger tenant pool without such a high risk.Thanks for the advice!!

Congrats on this investment @Kai'ler Sato ! 

Check "flexible" dates for a house with a pool to weed out the condos with shared pools.

It's mostly Class A properties, a few Class B.You may find the below copy & paste info useful in addressing your question:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
