I've heard somewhere online about the "Seller Side Only HUD" or something to that effect..looks like it isn't true. 

Also browse your local market online and by driving around to learn about neighborhoods, home values, etc.

Add on insurance ($130 according to Realtor.com) and property taxes ($340/month per this online calculator) and you're at $3,105. 

So should I cough up that cash for the piece of having a solid lease from an attorney or can I save that hard earned money and just use the best one I find online?

We had bought flights to fly back there and work on it, and have a hot tub coming and a game barn ordered and have renters already signed up blah blah blah.

If you start working with an account they should be able to put you on their wholesale plan and save you a little money if you buy the online version of Quickbooks.

How much time is left in the game?

If thousand of apartments come on line with 3 miles of each other all at the same time then it is going to be hard to maintain <4% vacancy rates.

The tenants would mostly use the side door since it's right next to the driveway and closest to the garage.LandlordLocks has me thinking twice now knowing that they are Grade-2 and not Grade-1 locks.Just when I think I have  game plan down, I fumble. :)Marcus, the lock box with spare key is a great idea.

Hey all, I am new to the game and to the forum.
