Otherwise, I don't think you could ever hold them responsible.

Laminate countertops can hold up pretty well and if damaged, will need to come out of the security deposit - lower cost product, so a larger percent of it gets paid for if damaged. 

I specialize in investment property loans, and I’m happy to help you figure out which loan type would fit your strategy best.Also, regarding your question on meetups—there are some great real estate investment clubs in North Texas (Dallas REIA, for example) that host regular networking events.

Among U.S. cities, counties or metro areas for which regular data is available, Maricopa County holds one of the highest eviction rates, at 16 filings per 100 renter households during the past year, according to Eviction Lab, a research group at Princeton University that tracks evictions in 35 U.S. cities and 10 states.

Townhomes have extra holding costs in HOA and could limit your renting ability.

We are seeing co-living investors be able to obtain strong cashflow vs. the traditional long term rental where price points are below $320k or so.I'd pick a sub-market that you have confidence in holding over the next 5 - 10 years.Personally, I like the northern parts of the metro (Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville) for LTR and Dekalb, Clayton, Fulton) for Co-living.Feel free to ping me if you'd like to chat - happy to help!

This isn’t really a big deal though.Rent payments can be abated over unresolved maintenance issues and tenants failing to abide by S8 requirements.Many S8 housing commissions will not hold tenants accountable for damages they cause (tenant is supposed to repair or lose their voucher).

MFR on the other hand tend to look much more attractive for buy and hold purposes.
