It's possible to find great tenants with thorough screening, but also be mindful if you're considering short-term (e.g., AirBnB) as it will expose your property to bad actors.Law enforcement and the legal system seem to operate quite slowly out there.

It seems like the perfect place, BiggerPockets, for finding people who are like-minded, asking them questions, and learning how to become a future investor.I believe that no matter how unforgiving the market may seem, the right tools, knowledge, and preparation can help minimize risk and create opportunities.

Since this is my only property I do not mind and with my flexible schedule I am able to spend time doing this. 

I'm very interested in learning from experienced investors and connecting with other like-minded individuals.I'll definitely consider attending your meetup on the first Saturday of next month.

hey @Keith Mintz A couple investors on the forum that come to mind (among many others) are Noah Laker and Michael King.

I appreciate the suggestion about checking with insurance agents regarding an elevation cert—definitely something I’ll keep in mind for future deals.

Do you mind sharing the name of that type of loan/lender that allows you to have the seller carry on a second position?

Growth minded? 

Whether it’s sharing ideas, insights, or exploring opportunities, I’m all about building relationships with like-minded investors.Looking forward to contributing and learning from this incredible community.Best,James That’s impressive what you’re doing.

Definitely the best place to meet like-minded investors!
