@James Galla good point, I’ll check that is morning.

We bought it for $399k, and it’s now worth about $650k with $250k equity.

Hey @Katherine Lewis, I have always felt this was a tougher row to hoe overall.It's not that it couldn't work, but the juice might not be worth the squeeze.If you go all in you have to do it for the long haul.

We use Zillow applications to pre-select and run a full background check on mysmartmove only with the final candidate.

If you hate the process of placing tenants, it may be worth it to hire a property manager to handle tenant placement for you.I think finding a new tenant is a better long term strategy if you're confident you can find a higher quality tenant that will cause you fewer headaches.

One of the best places to see what's out there in your area is to check Airbnb AND Pricelabs. 

The problem is mainly a concern for people with a net worth or reasonable income. 

The mechanics of the transaction were actually very involved and some of the most intricate and detailed of any transaction I've been a part of, however the results were worth the effort.

I think build to rent is a great option if you can get cheap enough land to make it worth it.

I may need to check on this, but my insurance company told me years ago that a tree in good health falling is an act of nature and the responsibility of whomever yard it falls into.
