First, we need a bust to occur so there is something to recover from.So in the mean time, I think people buying for cash flow and getting hefty returns in markets with improving employment, growing population, and low vacancy are probably making a smart move.  

Happy shopping! 

Thanks to patient buyers, a hard working realtor, a wonderfully smart husband and me getting more hard nose with an elderly person than I would ever want to get, she got out in time for the sale to close.My advise is to be aware that nice can turn ugly very quickly and to let all the little requests add up, taking care of 2-3 at once when it works for you.  

Smart to set it up correctly and ask others what their fee experience was! 

I think the "House Hacking" approach is smart but to buy for investment only may not be for a beginner.  

@Jay HinrichsMan, poor Felix, he cant investigate his own back yard.I have quite a few contacts in Cleveland, OH and I have a good friend that is SMART but is not licensed, and got a cease and desist letter a couple of years ago, very smart guy too, in the game of flipping and landlording.He needed to get an attorney, and still hasnt got a license.FYI, folks, you can buy and get on title, with sub2, land contract, transactional funding, etc, THEN resell.But if your intention and behavior is ALWAYS TO ASSIGN, and never to close the transaction and get on title, beware.

We’d love to have you join us to talk shop, participate in discussions, and ask any questions you have.

Btw, sorry for the errors im working off a small smart phone. 

I know there are always risks involved, and I'm okay with that, I just want to make sure that they are smart risks.

I was thinking of making rent all inclusive with rent, utilities, cable, internet, cleaning services and household common area shopping( toilet paper, soap etc).
