The law is very clear about the presence of smoke detectors in rental properties, and this landlord did not put them there to save a few dollars. 

What a great presence that house has!  

If there is not a presence of the former occupant, I would not go out looking for him to offer him money. 

You can learn from @Scott Meyers, @Michael Wagner (also has online presence as thestoragerebellion), Mark Helm (youtube search)! 

.- Your investment is concentrated in a property, while you can buy futures over an index and the risk is distributed among the stocks that compose the index.- Usually there is leverage associated to real estate purchases and leverage increases risk.- People tend to feel overconfident about real estate even if they dont know what they are doing.

There are a lot of good local meetings (main & sub-groups) - great if you're in town, but there's also a heavy Facebook presence which can help with finding deals, contractors, etc. when you can't be at the meetings in person.

There is a large Memphis presence as you will see.

If the house is worth $200,000 and the loan is $100,000 and you simply paid off the existing loan, with out follow the formulas established in the Statute, you will receive fan mail from the Attorney General asking for your presence at a party being held in your honor, and oh, we want your attorney to come along with you.There are a lot of hungry attorneys out there taking cases of "distressed" homeowners pro bono, since you will end up paying their fees.

Lots of new jobs from the health care sector and the military presence is very strong.

Most states will not allow a landlord or PM to enter a property without the tenants presence or knowledge  to check to see if the heat is on or the water is on or off.
