It's much easier than after the fact.

My bad experience has been the renter hardly ever cleaned the house and after the end of the year, renter moved into the next clean house and left me the mess.

If you have full time job, it might be easier for you to get a property.You can start by investing in Baltimore, it could  be less risky and you might end up learning more that what you will learn in any of the meet ups.

It's actually easier than you think.

No, no laundry there, but there's definitely space for storage, although the basements were pretty clean, when I did my visual walk-through, before purchasing the 4-plex.

I prefer to have all tenants on M2M and find they are far easier to work with then trying to inforce a term lease.

Any damage will be assessed separately and billed to the tenant in addition to the $500 fine.If a pet has been on or allowed on the Property, even temporarily (with or without the Landlord's permission) Tenant may be charged for cleaning, de-fleaing, deodorizing, shampooing, or replacing any portion of the Property. 

So you’ll have to walk that balancing act.I don’t think 6 units is harder or easier to manage than 20 units.

Hello everyone,Looking for a GC or remodeling company to help me get my townhome rent ready.Looking to redo the storm door frames, pain shutters, clean sidings, re-surface the wooden stairs, and remodel 1 master bathroom, 1 full bath, and 1 half bath.Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

The house is in decent condition, maybe needs a few minor upgrades and rough cleaning but other than that, it's in a decent location and a solid house!
