I keep my rents slightly below market to attract these tenants. 87.2% of BP “tenant from hell” post have their basis in bad or missing screening.you also have a very solid renter base in the PDX metro area.. it differs wildly when you head out east believe me.

However, it is still enough time to wildly profit on a 3 or 4 year Lease Option.

There is a Grand Rapids REI meeting at the Buffalo Wild Wings on 44th Street in Wyoming on the second Monday of every month.

Lots of interviews with folks who started their career as wholesalers and built wildly successful businesses. 

Have complementary skillsets and spell everything out in writing.I think folks just need to understand that buying rental properties is a business small medium or large... same principals apply like what your talking about.. just because in the US our lenders allow for this aggressive leverage situations for inexperienced investors does not mean one should just go hog wild  when they start..

Zillow is great and all but it can be wildly high and or low. 

@Alexander Wardell  First thing you should do is to familiarize yourself with MA landlord/tenant laws - which are biased WILDLY in favor of tenants.Next, learn about Fair Housing. 

Being an investor and being an agent involves wild swings in monthly income - make sure you're prepared.

The sad thing is the Baltimore City has advised landlords that they should expect to pay $40-$75 per inspection (wildly low). 

@Jacob FergusonMoving from San Diego to one of those locations is going to be wild.
