This is a more advance tenant placement tactics people who lack the experience or with an innocent mind can't read others properly should do more often before they relying on their read. 

Keep in mind we are a "Mega PM", big staff big unit count, so it's a lot different then the Ma & Pa, but the principles can apply.

If you don't mind me asking, who's running your numbers/proformas for you? 

Give them piece of mind.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

Keep in mind that inexpensive properties are inexpensive because they are less desirable properties in less desirable areas and attract less desirable tenants.

I recognize there are other ways I could invest this cash (including another property) but I am being mindful of levering myself out too much in the current environment where job losses are more common in my industry (tech).

It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors.

Owners always seem to want to tell a PMC what to do, changing their minds/expectations on the fly. 

They offer a demo too, so you can see if it is exactly what you are looking for:)Just a small note to keep in mind as you are starting out, making connections and looking for deals, keep in mind how you are presenting yourself.
