@Mark Lee, I appreciate that shout out from @Jake Andronico.  

Are there any loans out there that require less than 10% down?

Be sure to: call & verify employment references, request pay stubs to confirm income & check rental history by contacting the previous landlords.Keep the momentum going!

I checked the property but couldn’t detect anything unusual.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Anyone can live anywhere they want if they have the money, and sometimes houses are bought and then rented out without much background checking on the people moving in.

To find reliable contractors, ask for recommendations from other investors, real estate agents, or your local hardware store, and check platforms like Angi or Thumbtack for reviews.It’s best to bring a contractor out after the inspection so you have all the details to discuss.

Reach out anytime.

@Tim Swierczek Thanks for the information, I will check it out.

I don’t have any legal advice, but maybe some helpful perspective.When we return security deposits, we write the check to all tenants on the lease, such as “Tenant A or Tenant B”.
