Past tenants have been utter nightmares and I'm trying to avoid that this go round. 

This would be very valuable to me determining whether I should go for FB also or maybe PPC.I didn't know I needed to explain myself asking someone ELSE a question that is not even on a topic YOU started.sheesh dude. would you both just chill a bit.

So why don't you calm THE frog down little man and take the chill pill.Second. 

What ever method you use, stop worrying about where you are located as that is utterly irrelevant.

Super chill confident and calm.

Chill! 

I don't usually write such large posts but its a bone chilling cold day out and I'm looking for any reason to not get out from under the covers: )

The fact that he doesn't own the property is something he uttered, since he's def not a rent paying tenant, if that's the truth the owner has never showed up for years and years, and my neighbor don't want to disclose who the real owner is.

Account Closed - I tried flipping about 4 years ago and it was an utter failure because I was trying to find deals in other markets while living in NYC.

Because there is a shortage big time for rental housing.. 10 years ago only 6% of all SFR's in this market were rentals. with the big chill on the economy that probably spiked to 10 or 12% compare that with the mid west were is 40 to 55% in most markets...And then you add out of state and out of area to the mix in the mid west and its darn tough on the C properties to make them. work and they are anything but passive you will be managing your managers all the time. and one day your tenant will somehow get your phone number and call about something not working int he house and get it fixed etc etc.
