So familiarize yourself with the different ways payment can be processed, because many landlords were burned...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/500...

Some people just posted stuff for the Superbowl then forgot about the listings.Read some posts from @Al Williamson he is helping a lot of people get their airbnb's going and currently pushing a 30 day minimum model as a way to get a premium over long term unfurnished but not burn out from too much turnover

Just don't want to get burned. 

-Oil burning furnace: Fire hazard with amount of buildup in furnace and in flue.

Usually the folks who get burned are the ones who fail to ask themselves "what can go wrong in bad times, and what have I done to mitigate that risk" (e.g., you flip a house with HML because you think the market is hot and ARVs in 3 months will be at current or higher levels, but don't plan for a market slowdown). 

I didn't want to tie up all of my own cash in the deal and the truth is, I am really happy I approached the deal that way rather than burning through my own cash. 

There will still be PMI, but it will burn itself off.

I've been circumvented and burned many times in the past and that wasn't something I felt I could not do.

Those who have tried a tk company and had a bad experience are MUCH more likely to still be very vocal on BP, because they've been burned and are still looking for the right investment.I think @Mike D'Arrigo gave a perfect list of important red flags - the cash-only, no repeat investors, and pre-tenanting closing, especially.

I would greatly appreciate all feedback and recommendations as this is my first time looking and do not want to get burned.
