Your target tenant will probably have kids, lots of stuff to store in the garage and such, too.Personally, I like neighborhoods that skew with older demographics; people I can buy from with paper or from their children or even their heirs.

Even OJ Simpson, who visited my next-door neighbors home and replicated their rock pool, had his former residence dozed and leveled and a new structure built in its place (although no one is alleged to have died there).

They will basically just be looking for the following things in your home office:- The office must have a secure door lock and be separate from living quarters (can not be a bedroom, must be a den or a separate office)- Password protected computer- Locking file cabinet where tenant information is stored- ShredderThere's really no way to get around this if you wanted access to complete credit report info.

Newbies come and go in the rental business and they can be a GREAT source of desperate sellers.Having said that, I wouldn't close the door on any sources of good deals.

I am not sure I understand what he is trying to do, or if he has a good handle on what he may be getting into.

Poor guys showed up in the morning--opened the door and :eyes: Thankfully, they were able to shut it before becoming breakfast.
