@Venecia BaezRecommend 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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

It’s easy to switch it up or add to it or replace it if parts or the whole thing gets damaged.

You will lose money by the time you pay for evicting them and the damage they cause.

Won’t use metal spikes since they would damage the trees.      

No damage from any pets yet and you may even charge a pet fee as well. 

most contracts your 5k is your liquidated damages in most contracts. .. so snag that fire the agent and find another buyer if 13k is that important to you.. for sure not worth hiring an attorney for. 

what is damage protection insurance? 

Houses that sustained fire events have long term consequences including structural damage and mold that results from water intrusion required to extinguish the fire.
