Is driving for dollars really effective or is there a better way to find motivated sellers in select areas?

Usually not, unless your contract has wording to that effect.

The Daily Court Reporter legal paper that lawyers use to post public notices in each county.

Hiring employess or needing to learn my lawyers, bankers, CPAs jobs seems a little extreme and distracting from my primary goals.

Walk-throughs with maintenance reports would likely not be cost effective for them to do.

The codes concerning water connected to 220V that people climb into are pretty specific.If the tub burns up and/or the house burns down, their insurance and your insurance may not cover the damage if the tub was not properly wired.If you agree, in writing, to allow the tenant to repair or modify the tub and/or the wiring you are effectively putting your own head in the proverbial noose.I work on a lot of tubs at long-term and short-term vacation rentals.

I would strongly recommend you find a landlord tenant lawyer now.

@brandon turner yea, and I was told by a friend of mine who owns a bunch of laundromats that their lawyers aggressively fight if you try to break the contract.

The make-up of your debt will effect your credit score, but deferred or paid-on-time student loans don't have too much of an effect on your score - especially not a measly 7,000.

and should I get some sort of contract as well with lawyer?
