Oh, and who wouldn't be complete without a journal, day planner, key fob, or a 3-day coaching seminar?

At some point all tenants needs credit and if they aren't paying their rent then then they will feel it when they try and get a new cell phone/car. 

It's so middle of nowhere there isn't squat for cell service or wifi, like anywhere.

They don't value smartphones (or cell phones hardly) or being in touch constantly.  

You will also want a lender who has more than two brain cells who can handle the idea that you are purchasing a new primary and keeping your old one as an investment.

Don't forget to track and deduct your mileage (including trips to your remodel store of choice, assuming you own a car that you use(d) to conduct business with), deduct a portion of your cell phone (assuming you conduct business on your phone) and deduct a home office expense (assuming you conduct your property management out of a room in your house) and consult a tax accountant to see what other tax write offs you should be able to have.

@Michael Kugler I started with cell phone pics, moved to a DSLR and then just recently got a wide angle lens, and not only have the photos improved and inquiries increased but I've been able to take accurate pictures of spaces I couldn't have gotten before.

I thought I would post here as a journal of our intents and also see if anyone had wisdom to share. 

Make sure your bills (cell phone, utilites, etc) are in your name and consider taking out a low-balance secured credit card through your bank.Good luck!
