Hello all,

For a little over a year now Ive been trying to get as much info on flipping and inventing in real estate as possible.

For the longest time having enough savings for down payments was my biggest obstacle....

Any damage to the Premises (including, without limitation, concrete walkways and stairs) caused by Tenant's use of ice melt, salt or similar product shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost and expense any repairs required as a result thereof."

If you have discretionary cash, lines of credit and 401k borrowing for plenty of quick cash, what is the top strategy to put them all to work?

Credit score will weed them out alone. 

Do not include any late fees in the total as CA courts view those as liquidated damages and may reject a notice that states a higher than owed amount due.

To get the exact address I have to register for a free trial and it's asking for my credit card info. 

So a good credit score is paramount. 

Of my portfolio, only 2 tenants are current on their rent.The property manager tells me that if they were high credit people, they wouldn't be renting.

I have done it many times, saving the 3% commission credit to myself without using a buyer agent.
