Here's what he told me: He took his girlfriend and daughter to view the place.

Anyone can view our rules at any time here for reference https://www.biggerpockets.com/rulesTransparency is key in the forums and in real estate so we take it very seriously when folks are intentionally obscuring facts. 

I just haven't gone through anything like this and am curious from others on how to handle it from a landlord point of view.  

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I know the numbers are not great from any point of view but this was my first deal.

The only reason to get your license in your context would be to get access to view vacant investment properties for yourself on your own schedule and for access to the MLS.

I moved away from home into a new area that had totally different views than people in my home town did.

I don't view having an expensive primary residence as a goal and while a mortgage to buy an investment is GREAT because what it buys pays you.

Do you want tenants to have access to a portal where they can make rent payments, submit maintenance requests, and view lease terms?

That will help get more views and weed out scammers.

or is their view extremely narrow as to cleaning and maintenance on the property?
