My insurance agent is strongly recommending I require any tenant to carry renters insurance, with me listed as an Additional Insured. 

I've been strongly considering Chicago and New Orleans as of late.

These properties have strong appreciation but low-moderate cash flow.

For reasons like this forum… There’s a lot of hate with chasing your dreams, but you have to keep going strong. 

@Joshua Smith, I would start with a good securities attorney and strong compliance attorney.  

I am not sure yet if the fence belongs to the neighbor or to the current land owners, since the entire property is already fenced in.I am half-tempted to purchase the land, close the hole in the fence, and tell the neighbor to figure it out, since they knowingly put the meter on the property line without consulting the adjacent landowner, i.e. the seller of the land, but, saner minds have prevailed and I would rather not come into a property and start strong-arming the neighbors.  

Also, and this may seem obvious, I strongly advise against getting into a project without knowing your costs or ARV.

Personally, I like to provide a high quality product in a nice neighborhood and subsequently, I intentionally have a strong rental criteria 700+ credit etc so I can weed out the tenants I do not see being a good fit.In regards to best practices, I usually do everything via facebook messenger, text and email but I will probably utilize a google web form moving forward.

We understand that one property doesn't create financial freedom, but we are committed to growing our portfolio and want to make sure we get off to a strong start. 

Hello I need help on making my offer strong and competitive with out being ridiculous.
