While it may sound unconventional, this approach has proven to be effective in helping us identify and filter out problematic individuals, and ultimately avoid unnecessary headaches.Even with thorough tenant screening procedures in place, there will always be outliers who can make our lives challenging by magnifying minor issues.

Perhaps because getting a handwritten letter has become such a rare event, it is a breath of fresh air to actually receive a real letter versus another kind of marketing advertisement.Best of luck, and let me know how your campaign goes.Sincerely,Victoria

I actually house hacked in Houston myself by buying a triplex and living in the main house.There's plenty of duplex/triplexes in decent areas if you look hard enough.What I did when I bought mine was set up an automatic email from Zillow, filtered to the areas and property types I was looking for.

The big firms let the grunts do the weeding out of the buyers to see if there is any quality there whereas I automate that filtering process.Just like investors do not want certain types of properties I do not want certain types of clients.

I absolutely agree checking the property regularly is a good idea, I had a tip that if you change the AC filters for the tenant then it’s a good excuse to get in the house and see the condition.Yes there was no move in check list there was barely a lease agreement.

There are so many so be sure to filter by your location. 4) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!)

They're repurposing vacant and distressed homes, breathing new life into them, and bolstering our housing supply.So, folks, what are your thoughts on this housing market extravaganza?

Having a microwave above the stove is a convenient place for it and the filter.

It is a breath of fresh air knowing others have the desire to gain wealth through real estate and you actually make me jealous that you want to get started so early (good thing).
