Hello everyone,I'm Tyler, currently living in Lindsay, CA near the center of the Visalia-Porterville region of California which is in the Central Valley, south of Fresno, north of Bakersfield. 

Of course, the estate tax could still be a concern, BUT irrevocable trusts are a great tool for mitigating that risk... but I digress.If/when you get to that stage of your research (which might not be for a while), I'd suggest reaching out to a Qualified Intermediary here on BP (like @Dave Foster, for example) to make sure you get accurate info as it pertains to your specific situation.Whew, ok, that's enough from me.

If you want to think outside of the box, you could maybe see if you can provide a real estate seminar at a local senior citizens center.

A buyer utilizing this type of contract should be more experienced, have more capital, and have a higher risk tolerance than a buyer executing a contract with a loan contingencyI use the strategy of offering a purchase contract with no loan contingency on most of the property I buy since at this stage of my life I don't utilize borrowed money.  

We stage all of our houses.

They ultimately want the LOCATION.If the property has already  been rehabbed, it's super easy - free staging!

@Brian Connelly @Patrick Wheeler I am definitely looking outside of the city center, but have yet to decide on a specific area. 

Let me know if you need any help with staging or what is selling right now.

If an applicant has too large of a monthly debt payment, you could end up finding them unable to make some payment - that payment could end up being the rent (or a utility bill).Some landlords (like @Rob K. ) don't want tenants that are renting furniture - the credit report can show these (Rent-A-Center or Cort for example).

My husband and I are in the very beginning stages of our business and would love to get ourselves acquainted in the community.
