I know BP trys to Vet lenders as much as possible .. so weed out fake lenders who just steal DD money.. other than that I dont personally know.. but I suspect BP relys on feed back from members

One tenant however, did refer to having their rent pro-rated by the number of days that the situation would last.There is a clause in both their leases that they are responsible to carry renters insurance to protect their personal belongings against fire, theft, flood, loss of use etc. 

Better software will give you the option of charging the Tenant for those ACH fees, but I personally eat the cost of them.

I use my own person that can usually fix a problem same day.

Have a person who can guide you through the couple of deals you do at first to make sure you can really know how to do a deal from start to finish (not the remodeling, but systems)3.

I personally invest in Columbus, Ohio because there is a lot of new businesses coming here such as an Intel, Wells Fargo, and Microsoft. 

I don't know which states you are referring to originally in your question, but you do not need to be from or in Texas to form an LLC in Texas.

I've been listening to the podcast for a while and always found it very helpful both in my personal investing as well as helping my clients invest.

My personal opinion is that all markets can work, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Youd need to reference your lease.
