I was in Idaho this summer looking for property and could help but notice the vehicle bumper stickers, ''don't Oregonize Idaho''. 

Once people get over the sticker shock there is plenty of money to be made in Sacramento or any other area in California.

It is frustrating and common for anyone who steps out of the "norm" to encounter skepticism.

So we charge a pet deposit that we are upfront about will be spent to place the unit in a pre-pet state (the tenant has the understanding that this deposit is not going to be returned) and we charge a pet rent.Like many LL we are encountering a lot of tenants claiming service animals which we cannot charge extra (no additional pet deposit and no pet rent). 

I've encountered angry tenants, squatters, gang members, crazy homeless people, etc. 

When I finally bought a sports car (with cash, of course) after my portfolio set me 'free' I had the bumper sticker (No Payments) custom made and use it in my profile pic. 

Just wondering if any of you all have encountered this.

And that is where I am afraid your comment will take some.I bought my first ever Ohio property sight-unseen, from a licensed agent I had never met, and whom no one I knew had recommended - chance encounter on Zillow over an unrelated listing months earlier.

Next time someone complains about socialism look up Fannie and Freddie’s role in the economy4) favorable (and often unfair) zoning standards and exemptions from certain zoning and rental requirements5) let’s not forget your primary can be converted to an income property or can even generate rental income while being used as your primary if u are so inclined.Kiyosaki did a wonderful job of shocking people into stepping out of the “get a good job and buy a big house is the way to succeed” and he opened peoples eyes to the power of investment real estate but taking that bumper sticker statement as gospel does him and everyone a disservice

You may also want to consider security cameras and NRA stickers on your window, haha.
