I’m looking for a place that is at least safe, close to subway/bus station, takes under 40-50min commute to downtown, but not relatively expansive.

If it was medical and most actually are medical, then when the bankruptcy is discharged, they can't file again for 7 or 8 years so they are now a pretty safe bet.

Just want to make sure I’m going about this in a way that’s safe and legal but also not doing way more than I have to!

You could ask for 1st and last months rent and a separate deposit to be on the safe side.

We have a 4 plex in a good safe area for sale, but we havent had a ton of interest. 

What would be the best way to put the word out that I am a safe bet to earn a return on your money because I an experienced investor, completed 40+ deals - I have a second business that provides 6 figure income in additional to 25 cash flowing rental properties. 

If this is not an option I would call around and find a clean, safe reasonably priced hotel and see if you can make a deal for a 2-3 week stay.I expect my tenants to pay the rent and take care of my property.

I wanted to take a moment and a get a pulse on what everyone thinks is a "safe number" for liquid cash reserves (aka your rainy day fund).

@Jason Jinks I agree with Roland as we have experience with all 3 of those techniques.

This technique is a good way for someone new to get out there and speak to sellers, negotiate with them and make offers.
