@Brian Gibbons and @Joe Villeneuve It seems that I may have upset @Jack B. when giving advice on structuring lease options and what not to do.

It's those maniacs that buy homes cash via quit claim deed off of craigslist that really get screwed.Make sure your property manager is a licensed real estate brokerage.Google Clayton Morris and/or Morris Invest for a cautionary tale of what not to do when buying turnkey real estateUnderstand you can not eliminate all risk, only mitigate it.

Whether it be resources to use or what not to do, I'd love to hear anything you guys have to say!

:in most cases: being the bad guy is not fun but necessary. good info i found is:https://www.rentalutions.com/education/articles/what-to-do-and-what-not-to-when-a-tenants-rent-is-late/1.

I have read all the advise about being frugal and what not, but I don't know why anyone  would have to be told and/or read a  book about saving the money they already make.

So if someone moves out the end of October or November with all the holidays and whatnot, the property could potentially be empty for a while.

While I agree this isn't your fault, I also like to see the bigger 'picture'.Because I am in the market for a tv upgrade, I know I can get a 55" smart 4k LCD qled and whatnot for $300.

Now, you will know what not to do and continue to do what had worked!

My law firm takes up 200% of my time, so I certainly can't be involved in managing big rehabs or what-not.

I also just learned what note investing is.
