Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I’d give VRBO a call and ask them what went wrong.  

Assuming it's gonna be a small meet-up with < 10 people (I could be wrong tho), I guess a library study/reading room could be enough (need to book in advance).

buying the wrong properties to start with in the wrong areas.. low end that look great on paper.. but the tenants are sporadic at best move every year almost always.. and when the house does go vacant they get vandalized  condensers stolen that's what cost in some areas.. to fix that I think you just need to buy at the top end of the rental price ranges so you can attract that long term stable tenant..  

They’ve been saying the same thing for 25 years and have been dead wrong for betting against it.

Like @Tim Herman pointed out, you better be ready with cash reserves if something goes wrong! 

Because they have no stake if they are wrong.

Make sure your total cash-flow after borrowing and purchasing another investment is higher than it is now, otherwise you are over leveraged and heading in the wrong direction. 

I would only recommend using the seller's agent after you've done a few deals and are familiar with the process, so you can tell if/when the realtor is doing you wrong.

There is nothing for sale in multifamily, so you are probably in the wrong market if you want to actually close on a transaction.
