I dig Tai Lopez.Creative financing becomes the life blood of RE investing at some point for all investors it definitely seems!

I've learned from bitter experience to screen like crazy (including home visit) before signing a lease, to ensure the tenant knows how to keep up a property.

They are reading off a screen, and the box next to "tax returns" has not been checked.  

I was able to gain an edge here in Scottsdale due to the building being master-metered, with lots of deferred maintenance, and about as energy-efficient as a screen door on a submarine.  

They don't really know how to manage properties properly, sometimes paying un-screened tenants to move in so they can offer a product as "turnkey".  

Make sure that you understand tenant screening, leases and zoning ordinances before you take the plunge.  

Embarking on an adventurous journey of being a landlord and have some basic questions after listing on Zillow and went through this: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...1- On Zillow, if people inquire and we have a screening criteria in the listing, should I reply to each of them or just ask if they meet all the screening criteria and then schedule a tour?

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

We ended up getting a hardmoney loan on a duplex in Minneapolis (while we lived in San Diego) in a up and coming neighborhood, we lightly rehabbed when we went out there and left as soon as it got too cold for my blood.
