.: Great story and very encouraging. 

I would encourage you to read this beginners guide from BiggerPockets, it's a good bit of information so pick and choose what you want to read or read it all.

Best,Rebeccaps - @Scott Trench - thanks for encouraging newbies like me to introduce ourselves on this forum! 

I highly encourage everyone to view the property before putting money down, but that's not ideal for many of them, so I do allow them to rent "sight unseen," but I am very open with them to ensure they don't show up and back out.1.

Thank you again, your post was so very encouraging to me.

Drago Thanks Drago for the encouragement , would contact you once I have  identified the property..thanks Joshua 

I would highly encourage paying a GC to walk deals out the gate, have them give a scope of work so you can see what items costs.

I would strongly encourage you to buy properties that cash flow or break even.

Thanks for the encouragement! 

We feel this encourages/trains good payment behavior:)We have several MoveIn Specials owners can approve like, free TV, Washer or Dryer (used), etc.Our main goal with MoveIn Specials is to stand out from our competition. - Just lowering the rent really doesn't do that.
