I'm currently developing new construction in multiple areas around the city. 

My HVAC tech have given me some good deals in Charlotte by buying multiple systems and being flexible w installation date

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I have multiple tenants that pay Bi-monthly(it's written into the lease) and I have to send the occasional Pay or Quit notice, but as of right now, I collect 100% rent owed to me, and I haven't had to turnover a property due to lack of payment since one of my first inherited tenants failed to pay.There will always be bad tenants, and there will always be fantastic tenants, but most of us will find, OK tenants, and it's my belief that it's your duty as a property owner to try and work with OK tenants.

You need multiple things to go right since you need to find a good deal that has flip potential AND rent potential.

I agree with Joe - Lincoln is great for investors with multiple colleges here (University of Nebraska, Wesalyn, Union College & Southeast Community College).

Always multiple offers on any good deals on the MLS, and there's a lot of people from NY investing in Jersey.

If an IRA LLC is investing in multiple passive syndications, does it have to register in each state where it makes an investment? 

It’s just the ones that make sense from an investor stand point are all cash deals, but the point you made about multiple deals falling through really makes sense to be honest.

Many of the medical professionals line up housing in advance, some 30 to 90 days out, and I want to require a deposit to hold the property until they arrive to sign the lease and move in as I am getting multiple calls for the same time frames.
