Investing in NNN lease (Walgreens, Dollar General, etc are your tenants) is also fairly passive, but you maintain a bit more control. 

The other is unrelated and we suspect is tied to the tenant (who was with us for 3 years) that did not renew their lease and moved (we cannot prove this).Again, many thanks!  

The national organizations can have a lot of money backing them from Alumni and it would be a very long term lease. 

say you find a solid property in a low cost market for $200K and you buy it.between down payment, closing costs, rent ready / spruce up costs, and lease-up costs, you're probably going to need at least 50-65K in cash. 

How long did it take you to negotiate the lease and oversee the move-in? 

Squatters break into vacant homes, can present fake leases, and are a valid problem, but if you have cameras on the house, you will be able to get them out right away and you will see them going in.

We're now up to $1,900/mo and the current tenant wanted to sign a full year lease so it's a furnished long term rental for the moment.

NOMAD wants to rent my house with a Master Lease where they pay me the rent and then sublet to occupants who pay them.

We work with lots of clients from both coasts, but especially from CA, helping them find investment properties with residents in place under 2 year leases from day 1!
