Im an outsider coming from an outside perspective so im just trying to understand why going out to the suburbs would be less beneficial then going out of state.

Just wanting to get some other land lords perspectives.

From a technical perspective I also run into a lot of investors that: 1) Don't understand the basics of title, transfer, assignments, endorsements, deeds etc.

I have multiple close family-friends who work on redoing interiors of houses for a living who I could ask questions.

It seems there are always two extremes in perspective related to this model.  

How could 17 people live in a house without destroying it (or even 9 for that matter).Call section 8 if you want to, but what you really need to do if file eviction immediately on multiple causes.

And you also need to repeat the process for multiple deals to a) diversify and b) reinvest (most deals are 3-10ish years).

You need to research your market.From a financial perspective your monthly rent should be equilivant to 1% of the value of the home as a bare minimum.

What we look at usually is the payback time (ie. how many years will it take for the savings on the policy to pay back the $2500 difference in deductible), what is the likelihood you would put in a claim in the $3000-$4000 range, and could you afford the higher deductible if you had multiple losses in a single year. 

Tread softly, sounds like he's not yet convicted of the most recent activity.This applicant would lose points in my screening due to having multiple criminal events and for the most recent being so recent.Additional occupants rather than new applicants are a different animal.
