Quote from @Jonathan Greene: The last thing you should do is try to turn this into a rental/ Not because that's not a good idea, in theory, but because you don't have the expertise or connections to do the rehab and will overpay and underperform on rent.

My favorite way to collect rent, bar none, is still waiting on my porch for my tenants go come by and hand me wads of cash.

They are most likely selling something.Definitely listen to the David Green Podcast on YouTube.

Quote from @Blaise Peterson: @Theresa Harris @Jonathan Greene @Tim Delaney @Corby Goade @Adam Bartomeo I want to thank you all of your great suggestions!

Like @Jonathan Greene said, networking locally is a key. 

I'm very very green to say the least.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Max Fajardo: Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still cash flow.

Another property continually has squatters even with boards up and bars in front of the windows and doors.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: The difference is the low bar of entry.

Hey @Kendrick Seen - I agree with @Jonathan Greene that it's most important you use it and use it well.With regard to real estate specific software, we really liked RESimpli.
