I have done some great, very easy deals, and one of my clients is now using the approach with great success.

They may have more up to date into about the property.Pretty easy for an owner to rip out everything they can when they get foreclosed on.

To keep things beginner friendly and easy I would recommend using the old version of the Google Keyword Planner.

it seems to me that it should be easy to rent out for say, 1000 a month - but that is just a guesstimate.

Followed by:"Hmmm, this looks pretty easy........"

If you buy 2 homes and they both double in value and you sell one you can pay off the other.That sounds easy.

Most probably very easy for seasoned landlords but a headache for me.

Is is very easy to reduce or eliminate expesnses as well as risk when renting out a property.As investors we should always be looking into ways to eliminate risk as well as expenses.The first is to find a great not a good attorney a great one to handle evictions.When renting out cover your risks up front with huge deposits.don't rent to anyone your not 100 percent sure will care for the home and at the first sign of nonpayment of rent or not caring for the property give notice follow the rules and evict.If you give an inch to renters they will take a mile.You must not tolerate anything from your renters they are like small childern or puppies, always testing to see what they can get away with.If you let your puppy pee on the rug without punishment then it will get worse every time he gets away with it.If your renter is late serve a three day pay or quit immediately do not delay a minute......show them your serious about following the law and that you know what your doing.

But, if you're taking a huge risk on the investment, you'll obviously want a higher potential upside.Some investors are happy with an easy 10% return.

The one that i use is so cheap (like $12/month) and its pretty easy to set up.
