Realistically speaking, if they are, I'd boot the one paying the lowest rent with a 30 day notice and then move in to that unit.I would strongly encourage you talk to your lender regarding the occupancy policy in your state.

That's just more boots on the ground to help you look after your property.

Such areas require a really hands on investor or a really hands on and tough property manager to make them work.The nicer areas may be modest on cash flow and returns but the performance will be consistent without all the drama and an opportunity for appreciation to boot.

You have to compete with owner occupants for those, so the deals are generally not there.The most important thing to do is get good boots on the ground..

, so while it is nice to be boots on the ground, it isn't always necessary as long as you are investing in quality properties (ie not low-tier C/D /distressed properties which really do require that you be hands-on) and have a team you trust.

How will it work, we set up marketing, I'll be the boots on that ground that meets up with seller, and buyers.

I am focusing on working with out of state and foreign investors to be their boots on the ground, and help them find properties that fit their needs. 

If you'd like to increase the number of boots you have on the ground.

Mostly, having boots on the ground to service the property.

I'm in Memphis, so if you ever want some "boots on the ground" to take photos, check out a neighborhood, talk to folks, etc. please let me know.
