That has turned out to be a slow-burn strategy that feels overly conservative.I have basically zero education/training, so now I'm here, trying to figure out some better methods.

We then hand them applications based on the energy regarding really liking the house. 

Hearing this feedback gives me energy to ride my bike and enjoy life instead of working all the time! 

How do you all find Burned homes to invest in?

Also, it's a testament as to why some can stay in the game successfully for decades and others crash and burn.

Don't let this passion for REI burn out, be cool and in the meantime enjoy some of the other benefits of a young man.

Back in 1963, I worked my my father rebuilding huge apartment buildings that burned in fires from the ground floor through to above the roof 8 stories high.

By turning it off when they leave, they are expending more energy trying to bring the house back down to temperature, once they turn it back on.

They are out there still just take a bit more energy to find them.

Disclaimer: I've done this exactly once.Here are some things I did in the last few days of renting out my single-family house.Go around to all the rooms and make sure everything works - doors open and shut, windows open, shut, and lock, mini-blinds (if any) are securely mounted and work, curtain rods (if any) are securely mounted, closet rods are securely installed, none of the light bulbs are burned out, etc.
