If I were you I might keep an eye on it and check local insurance agents or companies and get some precautionary quotes every 3-4 months just to see a trend.

For a year, I networked and kept my eye on deals.I got a lead from NetWorth that seemed great.

Keep an eye out for homes that are in bad shape as it may indicate a tired owner/Landlord.

If you Dad stays on the title as an owner he will need to sign loan docs etc, i would rather keep it simple too, but its not a big deal to have your Dad involved if you have good understanding with him.

It's not worth it.I'm told that FHA has ways of finding these things out that are more involved than just getting your mail at the address.Ohio is not listed in this resource: http://www.ncsl.org/research/financial-services-an...But in many of the states listed, mortgage fraud is a felony.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me!

It's completely up to you the amount of involvement, renovation, risk tolerance you have with likely low income or credit challenged tenants.

I know that these are basically retail deals, so it’s more of a question of which type of building mix would would you go to.My plan involves selling a few of my SFR and transitioning to small MF around Orlando or Jacksonville and I’m leaning towards one building type of places because I’m thinking one roof vs two or three may help for maintenance.

Get involved with a local REI, seriously, go to one a week.

And I do literally mean, looking and getting eyes on every. single. property. that hits the market.
