Often times taking a lot more crap from a tenant than is really necessary.  

Holy crap, GRMs around here are three and four times that! 

Buy a SFH/condo with as many rooms as you can afford and house hack the crap out of it.

Akron, Lorain, Elyria & Canton are all good spots that don't have the same B/S lead crap that Cleveland does.

Due to all the crap going on in NC right now with tenants, I would definitely have a half way decent lease contract in place.

If I inherited a real estate portfolio, I'd sell that crap. 1 law suite can leave me with nothing plus I got my 9-9 and my own condos to deal with.

The tenant pool in that area won’t be great, so you’ll be dealing with a ton of crap that a B class neighborhood you would not have to.

Instead of putting down or talking crap about new investors, why not educated them about broker fees and other stuff.

“Deal dog” daily email sends me the same crap from Craigslist (other wholesalers listing properties) and auction.com (exclusively foreclosure auctions).My three day cancellation window has passed, but one more strike (testing again tomorrow), and I will fight tooth & nail for a refund.Not happy thus far...  

A google search will turn up a number of firms that can help you and have tutorials explaining more about them and the details to set them up for you.
