Mind you, it's great if you discovered BiggerPockets thanks to them.The issues I have identified by just having a quick look:1.

I used to allow two-year leases until I discovered about 80% of them were breaking the lease early, some in less than one year.Finally, requests like this are a red flag for me.

But, there’s also a small possibility that’s to cover their butt when you discover a larger problem after you own it that they “didn’t know about”. 

It took so long since I still have a day time job selling building materials, so most phone calls were done at lunch, the studying and practicing were done in the evenings after my two minions were in bed.I was analyzing and having realtors send me video tours in the meantime to practice, but it was go time to place offers after about 7-8 months since September.

Long story short, just study the market and you'll get better with experience.Online rent collection is definitely the way to go, particularly if it's tied into your PM software so you don't have to log anything.

I would like to take action asap.This is what I've researched so far to get started:Look for potential markets by studying the macro economics.Research neighborhoods.

Currently the property is under contract with me and we are going thru challenges when I discovered the income instability with the latest rent roll.  

I don’t know any investor who does this.In non judicial states it still must be done properlyI am looking at a loan that was foreclosed on years ago and it was just discovered the foreclosure was invalidated and it’s a mess and has to be redone and will cost 3x the original as they have to reform the mortgage etc.

Would like to hear your take on these two Brentin Mock articles, the Freddie Mac study the first one refers to, and the statement by the Appraisal Institute the second one refers to.
