Just make sure you understand laws, zoning and you are eligible for lic.  

If someone stays at a property for 14 consecutive days or more, they could potentially be considered a tenant under state law, even if their stay is structured as short-term renewals.If the individual is classified as a tenant, landlord-tenant laws would apply, meaning you may need to follow formal eviction procedures to remove them.

If you are renting to professionals, you shouldn't have to worry about the landlord/tenant laws.

.- Build a Strong Buyers List EarlyA solid buyers list is your safety net.

Texas has some screwy laws (are you even investing in Texas?)...

Hi Arif, I can't help you, because Alabama law very different from Pennsylvania.

Invited one of the neighbors over, with his visiting father in law. 

More states are creating "just cause" eviction laws, essentially stating the landlord must allow the tenant to remain in the property except for a few specific situations.It won't end well.

Do better rehabs.  100% agreed mate,Safety comes in the volume.Something that I've "preached" for many years.It's not worth the time, money or even risk buying 1 or 2 or even 3 properties unless an investor has a growth type mindset and a will to scale to 10+.It's very simple, you own 1 and it goes vacant.That's a 100% impact on your income.You own 10 and 1-2 to go vacant.That's only a 10-20% impact on your income.It's also a very high likelihood that problems will always exist with 1 or 2 properties at any given moment...Plus, such markets (Ohio and Michigan) don't appreciate as much as many others like a Texas and Florida for example.Michigan and Ohio are slow movers and only recently (10+ years later) caught up to some of the other "higher flying" markets from a yearly growth percentage.Much success
