Cooking is huge so well stocked kitchen plus bbq.

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.

. - All they've got to learn is to save some of their income to pay their bills on time and they could then afford to buy a home.Instead, they spend every penny they make on things they don't really need and then blame everyone else.Take a look at a Class C or D tenant's bank statement to see the frivolous things they spend their money on and you'll better understand our society's biggest problem.

Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal level Learn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are needed Know everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

A few rentals along the way but realistic on returns 5 to 6% for solid A/B class is where we like to be.

If you are considering this approach, I suggest you buy an A-class property in a landlord friendly city and get a PM.

Evan took an online class and learned how to replaster walls and yes I do mean old school plaster.

JD, The tenant was responsible for electric and cooking gas.

If you start buying properties in Class C neighborhoods, you can take advantage of higher and more stable rents/renters with Section 8 vouchers. 

And as we know then there are different asset class's in the rental side of things..
