I would read up on "Squatters Rights" laws and how long a typical eviction takes to execute.

As a long-term hold investor, I see this property as -$600/mo to -$800/mo depending on whether you use a PM or not.

Been in law enforcement for some time and while they do evolve over time, they will keep the same red flags in for long enough for people to figure them out and spot them. 

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense

•My goal is to build long-term cash flow through rental properties while ensuring my partners see strong returns.I’d love to connect with investors interested in passive income opportunities or those who have experience structuring joint ventures.

Divide the long-term vision into manageable steps.
