I know personally I have benefit with my 90 home project 20 miles south of Downtown PDX..

It's not 100% accurate because one person might have a smartphone and one or two tablets, but it's one more data point that helps me keep tabs on my owners' properties.Hope that helps!

I find it strange that not a single person has come forward yet to give any type of experience, good or bad, with Citrona Homes.

My friend wants to include me in on this so we can both achieve financial freedom together.The plan currently is to take out a personal loan together for the $20,000, put in $5,000-10,000 worth of work into the property to make it livable as soon as possible, move into the property ourselves so we don't have to pay rent anymore, and then refinance as soon as possible.

Help me think through the pros and cons to determine whom I should rent to:Candidate 1: Single recently divorced person with a 65 lbs pitbull.

The original lease shows 5 people, no ages (husband, wife, and either 3 kids (or 2 kids and possibly the roommate- in which case is fine as long as they don't now mention another person).6. 

However, because we don’t have much experience with this matter, are relatively new to being landlords, and come from a different culture, we wanted to understand if there are any particular considerations we should be aware of.I heard that it is illegal to ask about religion, national origin, and other personal information when we talk with tenants, even if we don’t have any bad intentions or discriminatory purposes.

However, for personal reasons the tenant is no longer interested in remaining in this rental and wants to be "bought-out" of their "ownership".First and foremost, a verbal agreement just isn't going to cut it and getting a signed legal contract is the first step.

Personally, I would avoid any sort of Airbnb arbitrage.

It means an extra call/text for whoever is giving notice or letting the person in, but it will make sure it doesn't happen again.
