I am starting to become involved in real estate investing and I am looking between two cities in Ohio to purchase my first property (hopefully a duplex).

@Mitchell RosenbergAnother approach is the elimination method.

I've been thinking a lot about Florida and I believe it's a great state for future potential investments such as purchasing and renting out (utilizing the BRRRR Method Of Course).

The single biggest issue in my way currently is obtaining enough cash, whether it be my own, or through partnerships or family/friend-based lending (which I am very hesitant about to begin with as this could potentially strain relationships unnecessarily when money is involved).

The higher the cap rate, the more risk involved in the building. 

Does anyone have a template or method that they use in order to screen tenants effectively in order to reduce the risk of non payment and damage to the property?
