I have practiced real estate and this is my third personal investment so I am more savvy than most, some people really would get screwed out of a good deal in a process like this for no good reason.

One tenant claims people are breaking into the house and hitting her at night.

That bubble will burst in a very legally challenging way for people who follow that bad advice.Second, you have to be in a position to handle a Due on Salecall.Third you have to be in a position to make every payment on time even if the property is sitting there vacant.You have to know why you are buying the property and what you are going to do with it to be cash positive without question.There are other things but that is a start.

I visited the area and discovered it would be stable, affordable, and profitable.

Do you use vacationrentaldesk.com or know people that do?

@Mei ZhuThe biggest thing I didn't see on here is to cover your windows so people can't look inside and see it's sitting vacant.

You could schedule showings during a time frame you are available and require people to pick those slots.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

This is a great way to cover personal homeowner expenses and has given so many people a leg up in real estate investing!
