Many new investors get excited by high cash on cash returns in the midwest and buy rough properties in D areas and they get smoked by property managers, tenants, vacancy, capital expenses, repairs, turnover costs, etc. 

I have a tenant who is already late on his payments but he was smoking in the property and caused a fire.

Going from a 2-3 unit may also required some additional fire/smoke alarm work.

Consider managing remotely you'll have to be willing to travel 3 hours when needed or find a way to handle it virtually.

All three generate leads from insurance claim residents and traveling professionals (medical and the trades).One of the advantages of FF has been that it's forced us to have systems in place to create leases, accept security deposits without co-mingling and provide "live" customer service. 

It does happen, particularly when renting to travel nurses who are at risk of having their contracts shortened by the hospitals or recruiting agencies.

But today, my husband and I live comfortably, and we’ve traveled to 20 countries over the past few years.I’ve been listening to BiggerPockets since 2013 and was even featured on the Rookie podcast.

The home was on the market for an extended period of time because the renters smoked in the home so I was able to get it 20k under asking price.

So when that TARP 2.0 comes, it will be directed to the big banking entity/ J.P. to "save the commercial financing world", to "create liquidity" which is a giant smoke and mirror trick because that TARP 2.0 is just added profits, the asset's are coming back liquid already, it's the LP's and regional bank and the regional bank investors who get burned, bad. 

I’m traveling to Austin this week on business.
