Once you’ve built some confidence and systems, you can start exploring additional markets.I personally focus on 2 markets that are about 20 mile radius.Make sure the market(s) you choose align with your investing goals, whether that’s cash flow, appreciation, or both.

You can tell the tenant that they can ignore the notice as long as they follow through on paying.As the landlord you want to maintain control of the situation - not allow the tenant to do so.

It was the system that afforded this.

The biggest difference to me is that YOU have control of every aspect of an active investment, while somebody else is in “control” of a passive investment.  

However, its downfall (and really what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system. 

.: We just this week bought a 6 unit building in a top notch suburban school system for $615,000 with gross rents of $4615, but to make the deal cashflow (barely), had to raise the gross monthly rents to $6570 on 4/1.

Truthfully it is really pretty easy if you put the right systems in place.

The second you are introducing metrics to change your marketing that have nothing to do with generating the leads you need, you introduce uncertainty to your systems. 

They can be used in situations of control or hope.

We look for good school systems, low crime and desirable neighborhoods.
