Knowledge is power:Thorough Inspections: Minimize surprises with detailed inspections and due diligence.Strong Screening: Careful tenant selection reduces vacancy and headaches.Diversification: Spread your investments across different locations and property types to mitigate risk.Financial Planning: Maintain a buffer and choose financing options that fit your long-term goals.

I did that (posted the notice on the screen door and took pictures), however don't know if it's legally served. 

Fair enough, I have partial ownership of a commercial (apartment) building in the Bay Area and I would estimate it as a Class A- to maybe Class B - great location, great tenants, nice amenities (not high end like gym, new pool, community room with big screen TVs, etc), high rents, but building is older (built in 1950s).One investor I saw post that they look at where Starbucks and Costcos are opening and possibly factor that into looking at different markets.

A lawyer could speak to it better, but I would be concerned about screening this way. 2.

Any rational landlord will double or triple their screening efforts because nobody wants to accidentally put a deadbeat in their property. 

There are even TV programs that showcase how Dutch people buy, renovate, and revitalize properties in small Spanish villages.

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

Here is my system that I have shared on the forums previously:It all starts with online ads, within which are several pre-screening questions I request be answered in their response to my ad.

I provide a Smart TV or a Roku. 

with millions of hosts, if you are in a bigger market, there is only a few spots that can be on the first page. 99.99% of hosts will not be on the first page. so making sure you have the most exposure to the most possible guests is the aim. just like a company making a tv commercial to be exposed to the largest audience possible.sorry, i dont think your post is controversial, its just wrong.
