If you can find a deal that cash flows decently now, I do think we'll start to see 3%+ per year organic rent growth again sometime in the next 2-4 years, since new construction starts have been very low the past 2 years so new supply coming online is going to drop a lot in the coming years. 

And I make sure to already have established email communication with each tenant at/before the start of the lease, and use that same email address (of the two provided in the lease) with the tenant during our relationship.Real life example: I had one leave “in the dark of night” after my local agent posted an eviction notice on the door.

My wife and I are looking to start flipping houses in our local area.

I am not a fan of novice investors starting out with out-of-state investments.

Divide the total bill by the number of inclusive days to get a prorated amount, then multiply that by the number of days occupied by the tenant, deduct from their deposit, refund the remainder.

We took a family trip to Table Rock Lake in late June, and she agreed to let me start looking when we got back.

That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

I would like to expand and take on projects of my own, starting with home flips. 

Currently performing DIY Rehab within house hack to get the other unit rent ready while learning the ins and outs to start implementing "who not how" for my next Investment!

The problem is that we have only just started renovations (just the roof so far) and i'm hesitant to post photos of it while it's looking less than optimal.
