Screen people adequately and I've had great success. 

Here is a list of things to know about our situation: - We have adequate funds for a down payment and other costs like renovations, closing, loan, etc. - max of $300k- We don't want to pay any more than a $2.8k monthly mortgage/tax/insurance bill- We don't want to rent out rooms in a house, as we're starting a family soonWe're looking for creative ways to get a great deal on either a low price home that needs work, or a duplex/triplex that needs some cosmetic touch up.

If your cashflow is adequate, it may make sense to make sure your books are in order and try to get an investor friendly bank to loan for an additional property and scale that way.

We decided a few years ago that buying anything in our market just was not going to provide an adequate return so instead we focused on sprucing up the portfolio, raising rents and improving tenants wherever possible.It is hard to stop buying, we still look but are not willing to compromise.

You should get adequate knowledge of real estate and strategies you are planning to apply.Also explore various financing and partnering options.You can start by joining local real estate clubs, attending meetups and connecting with local agents and investors.Do a thorough local market research and analysis.A local Investor-Agent can help shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

This single family is on the multifamily property so the driveway is adequate but not excessive and although there is a large yard there isn't anything they can really do with that. 

Some key provisions to consider include clauses that allow you to terminate the lease in the event of default by the investor, clauses that give you the right to inspect the property and ensure that it is being properly maintained, and clauses that outline the investor's responsibilities for paying taxes and insurance on the property.In addition to these provisions, you may also want to consider including clauses that address issues specific to short-term rentals, such as the investor's obligations to comply with local zoning and licensing laws, to maintain appropriate levels of liability insurance, and to cooperate with you in the event of any claims or disputes.It's a good idea to have a lawyer review any master lease agreement before you sign it to ensure that it adequately protects your interests.
