I was down in the Caribbean drinking beers in a little beach bar and started to talk to the guy next to me.

What am I missing?  

So far i have called the previous landlords, called current/former employers to validate salary and years of service. obtained a credit and background check, had them fill out an application.Are there any key things I am missing?

What if something happens later down the road where I start losing money because of the loan I chose or I missed out on saving money because I was simply unaware of a perk from the other loan?  

Yeah so we missed the due diligence part.

Additionally, we have to hand deliver or send the deposit back via certified mail within 30 days of the end of tenancy, along with an itemized list of any deductions.Again, not sure of the laws in Ga, but make sure you don't get hung out to dry because you missed out on one of these little loopholes.

If we gave notice 10 days before rent is due, and they don't pay July, we start the eviction process the first day of missed rent.

I spread the mailings out so that about the same number hit the mail each day mail is delivered but I don't sweat if one day is missed and I need to double up on another.

According to analysis by Ben Leybovich you should calculate about $150 - $170 per unit per month for capital expenditures over time (boilers, water heaters, flooring, roofing, siding, etc, etc) for buy & hold properties.If your $600 is missing some of those items you might be in trouble.Hopefully, you've used the BP analysis tools (free!)

Said another way; Because most successful realtors are also property investors, what's to stop realtors using "buyers" to find deals for themselves.I suppose that the answer is obvious: don't use a realtor for buying, but it's my first property, I I want to ensure that I don't miss a legal step that ends up costing me huge money - and I'm not so good at negotiating - and Realtors are necessary to determine fair market value.This situation seems to have happened to me, whereby I found a good deal, then asked my Realtor to show it to me.
