If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

I highly encourage all my tenants to keep open communication with me about any struggles to pay rent, and generally they do.

Building trust can lead to better negotiations and more opportunities in the long run.Managing seller relationships is about clear communication.

@Kyle FitchReal estate is a superior investment due to its tangible assets, consistent cash flow, leverage, tax benefits, control over investment performance, appreciation, and diversification.

We consistently produce over $70k in net income and I distribute this to support my family.Long-Distance REI: I am looking to invest in long-distance cash-flowing SFH in growing C-Class neighborhoods.

It wasn’t how I wanted to kick things off, but I worked with a contractor to get the bathroom fixed and functional.Once that was behind me, I focused on improving the building and maximizing income:I installed a shared washer and dryer for the tenants, a major upgrade that added convenience and increased the property’s value.I rented out the two garage parking spaces, bringing in consistent revenue.I also raised rents for the second- and third-floor tenants I inherited to be just below market-rate.

Tenant has been making consistent payments so far so that's not the issue.

This will cut down significantly on the issues you may have down the road with communication, paying rent on time, caring for property, etc. 

Although the official language is English, it is comical sometimes let’s call it my failure to communicate.  

For this situation, communicate very clearly and bluntly with the tenants and try to realign expectations so they don’t do this same with you.
