The landlord is legally bound to resolve the problem, and the tenant is required to allow the landlord access to resolve the problem (obviously with some adjustments depending on statutes & ordinances of different municipalities).

They require you to confirm that you are a landlord but after you are all set up you can perform intensive background checks, credit checks, and criminal history checks to ensure that people are who they say they are.The other part of the battle is pricing your unit right so that you draw the people you want in, and setting up good tenant criteria and not bending on those rules.

As you mature, your energy and stamina may be tested by low-end, high profit rentals and other labor-intensive profit strategies do be mindful of where you stand on this topic now and in future years.I'm big on education and I'm philosophically in opposition to the camp that says that you can learn everything you need to know on discussion forums like this and others.

Once that goal is reached, adjust and improve so eventually can leave my day job, live off passive income from rentals while also flipping houses for extra money.

If any Dutch members have any thoughts on this, I am very curious...My strategy will be buy-and-hold, as I am not in the country at the moment, and will not be able to manage a more labour-intensive strategy (maybe later, the place we had in The Hague we renovated extensively, so some experience (good and bad) with that).Cheers everyone, looking forward to this journey!

Financing80 % ARV @ 4.5%   20 year note that can be adjusted at 5 years first 3 months are interest only.

If you buy a house in a decent area, it'll likely be worth about what you paid for it in inflation adjusted dollars 10 years later.  

I have used spreadsheets in the past and they work fine on a small scale but as you get bigger they become very labor intensive and cumbersome.

Assuming, a 10% property management cost and maybe increasing the CapEx to 15% that would adjust my cash flow to around $6130/year or $510/month.

I’m having a hard time adjusting to this competitive market we are in and would like some insight as to how to structure our offers to get accepted.
