It was through BP members and being physically present with the people out-of-state that my partner and I came across our first off-market 40-unit portfolio deal.

When all a tenant has to do is make a phone call to HUD, or to a "ESA Certificate giver", it is not a battle that I am willing to fight.I would much rather limit kids, however that is indeed illegal.A housing provider also may not ask an applicant or tenant to provide access to medical records or medical providers or provide detailed or extensive information or documentation of a person's physical or mental impairments.

No foreclosure or other crazy requirements on your part required.Lien goes to highest bidder with no interest rate bid down.Bidding in person so no competition from people who can't physically be at the auction.I typically get  1 to 5 new houses/properties every year that do not get redeemed from the previous years auction.I do not need to do an expensive Quiet Title to rent my new properties.I get a check in the mail plus interest or I get a Deed in the mail.

As people can easily take advantage of me and it is not easy to physically look at the property.

There are national vendors such as Clear Capital, LRES and Core Logic which all provide various physical property reports.

So far I haven't had any complaints from the tenants.Moral of the story...don't bother with physical traps or calling an exterminator; go with the poison pellets straight away.

The mortgage is a liability; however, they are taking on more debt, so it may be a wash, unless one takes out more than they have physically put in.That is true some gifting at a discount can help.

I physically will run out of money if this property keeps going at this rate.

If You don't want to physically maintain your investments and fix them up then maybe turnkey is an option for you.

If they are charging a management fee and than hiring a property management fee on top of that that is a no no but otherwise those are out of pocket costs since very few good syndicators are physically on site every day dealing with toilets because they have grown beyond that.
