She must complete your rental application and you must get her SS#, drivers license and other personal info.

@Addam Driver Nice to meet you Addam!

Not sure if this is the best place to get the feedback I'm looking for, but hopefully someone has a keyword filter up just in case.For those of you who buy from wholesalers on a regular or semi regular (open to interpretation) basis, what is your main driver?

Even though you travel a lot for work you still have a "home" where your car is registered, you have a drivers license, you get mail, etc.

Has a decent town square with access to geneva on the lake. 3. some economic drivers. - Hospitals 4.

Look into Cleveland, its got good cashflow potential with appreciation happening as well.Looking for appreciation come to Columbus, there are still 1% deals, but the more attractive part is the population growth and other economic drivers!

The analogy I'd give is walking around with a philips head screw driver looking for things to screw in versus walking around with a tool belt and first asking what kind of problem someone has and then picking the most appropriate tool.  

A paper trail like utility bills and address on your driver's license help, but you actually need to live there, not just change the address on some bills.If you sell within 3 years of when you initially turned it into a rental, you would generally get the full Sec 121 exclusion, however you would have to recap any depreciation taken or allowable.

This is a long term investment strategy for me, but everyone has their own drivers. 

I used to just look at 4, but had to expand out even further to capture more.Typically I would say look at the higher growth areas which will be around the outskirts of the main DFW circle...and also where the demand drivers are.
