Quote from @Evan Ross: One of the most common mistakes I see with amateur landlords: attempting to build goodwill with their tenants.

.✅ Thirdly, in regard to objectionable tenancy and nuisance caused by disruptive tenants, you will need to document these violations with undeniable evidence.Because police reports are not usually able to be procured due to disturbances like drug trafficking or domestic violence, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands on producing that documentation.I recommend getting security cameras installed in all common areas and outside your properties.I’ve used SimpliSafe security cameras but you’ll need to install WiFi service at your properties so that you can maintain recordings in the event of violations and add to your lease that any tampering with said cameras constitutes a lease violation as well.This is still developing and once we get further clarity, we will host a round table with legal experts on how to best protect our properties and residents.

And this all gets worked out before the contract is actually accepted.Why Your Agent Matters: Common misconception that agents are door openers - to be fair most act like it.

Yes, window treatments are a common one for tenants to break.

U only have to be burned once when title comes back 3 days before closing ( which can be very common in abstractor  states ) only to find it title is buggered.. title companies and closing attorneis may have their process's but a good agent just lets them know this is how escrow is going to flow.. they will wine but it cost 200.00 for a title search and we dont want to spend that until we know we have a closing.

One of the most common mistakes beginners make is jumping into large rehab projects without having a solid team or boots on the ground. 

A mortgage lien being the most common one.

@Craig Oram this is a common issue.

If the latter, depending on the jurisdiction, YOU may need to be a licensed real estate agent/broker to engage in what’s commonly called “wholesaling” but is actually “flipping”. 

While this is not common, its also not uncommon.
