The biggest piece, is that they are not my empkoyees.

Our biggest advantage as real estate investors is our networks, and it's time to start using that to help us all financially.I was introduced to this by other investors at an REI meeting that I respect by being asked "Would you spend 10,000 on a house that will guarantee a rent check of 525 a month?"

I must say I am familiar with the smart key having some security issues, but I use them at my residence too.If someone wants to get in a house, its really not that hard, my biggest concern would be someone breaking into a house when people are there, so I put a "Texas lock" on every exterior door (manual round thing that you would have to break the door down to get into), that is the best security for nights.I'm glad you brought up the smart key problems, its something I need to put more thought into,,,,I'm considering going to brushed nickel instead of gold for exterior hardware, that might be a good time to look at alternatives

Questions like- what was the biggest issue you've had at your property and how well was it resolved?

But the biggest thing is the price, we were asking for 1.5 months rent for security and first months rent, originally $1175.

The 401k match is made on the contribution, so once the money hits my 401k account, I've already made my biggest return on it.

I love finding a good deal.My husband showed me Biggest Pockets, what a find.

How does a big casino affect rental properties?

I live on the West Coast, but I am primarily interested in investing on the East Coast (New York/Florida/New Jersey, Philly, NC, SC, Tennessee, Florida, etc) -The biggest issue that comes to mind is the trust factor.

The biggest consideration is that you will have to disclose your status as a licensed agent, even if your buying properties on the investment side.
