@Art KellyYes, Prospecting is critical! 

Rinse and repeat.I am also a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad 'and in that book taxes are depreciation and tax savings are critical.

I could be too critical, as I will be moving into this house, and feel my standards might be a bit too high, (I'm trying!) 

Most transactions are private, so detailed knowledge of rent rolls, replacement costs, deferred maintenance, and other critical data is not widely known.

I know that I have much to learn and I am always eager to hear different perspectives, and constructive criticism from other more experienced and successful investors than myself.

In conclusion, listening to understand is critical in communication.

If your goal is to have a dependable passive income that you will not outlive, then the location is the most important investment decision, not the property.Wherever you decide to invest, it is critical that you work with a good local investment team.

Any response, info, advice, or criticism is welcomed and appreciated!

People LIVE in residential, they do not (lawfully) LIVE in other types of property, therefore the "hardship" of being forced out is, in the eyes of the Courts, not as potentially critical and time consuming.There will be separate rules for storage that you must follow, but you should have been aware before you rented the space.
