There are so many avenues to invest in RE, so I'd suggest starting at the beginning - at the Education tab up at the top of the screen.  

And due to heavy and diligent tenant screening, my tenant was great so I was willing to live with less extra dollars till he graduated from medical school.

First one was a no-show, but wasn't a big deal because the 2nd was a family that had been my best phone screening to date.

We've been advertising for about 2 weeks and  after screening out several who were obvious they wouldn't be a good match for us for various reasons (bad credit, don't earn enough income, don't want a 12 month lease, etc.) we have our first prospects that look like potential tenants (husband, wife, 2 young children).  

You can now communicate with the contractor and keep tabs on how things are progressing on the property all from your smartphone screen while you're at work.

I found two broken window panes but all the windows operate and the storm windows and screens are in place. 

You could probably ask for either of those documents though, an I-20 or visa, to prove that they are here legally.The advice I've always heard and follow when it comes to screening rental applicants is to have the same screening criteria for everyone, which should include verifying their income/financial qualifications. 

Screen your tenants. 

So screen your tenant quality wisely when doing direct deposits.  

But, I'll break it down really simply...1...screen the lead and do an initial analysis to determine if there is potential for a deal2...inspect the property and get a rough estimate of required rehab3...analyze the property with the rehab costs included to determine a target price and a Maximum Allowable offer price4...negotiate the deal and get a Purchase Contract signed5...execute your primary exit strategy 6...if the primary exit strategy won't/isn't work, move to the 2ndary  (You should have at least 2 for every deal.)7...execute the exit strategy8...deposit your profitIf you don't know what any &/or some of that means, then you're not ready to start tying up people's property with contracts.
