That bubble will burst in a very legally challenging way for people who follow that bad advice.Second, you have to be in a position to handle a Due on Salecall.Third you have to be in a position to make every payment on time even if the property is sitting there vacant.You have to know why you are buying the property and what you are going to do with it to be cash positive without question.There are other things but that is a start.

I guess a stupid opening question would be, what strategy is the best for a long distance investor to get started? 

It might be a good idea to test it out while it's free to see if it's a good fit for you.It is clear to me that JP Morgan is very focused on developing a strong product to compete with other property management systems because they have taken all of my feedback seriously, and implemented many of my suggested revisions.

Don't order the dumpster a few days in advance before they start work and let it sit.

I just don't even know where to start and what I should be asking but am wondering.
