Check out Cozy, the site has a good credit check and background check process, which the tenants pay for. 

Exception would be like an on-site property manager on a salary.

I always post on all the free sites (Craigslist, FSBO, For Rent, etc) and Facebook local For Rent/For Sale pages first. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, Has anybody on this site invested on tax deed sales in Washington state?

Bank owned properties are a Total waste of time.....if you’re thinking to buy them before they publicly become available on mls or an REO auction site.

@Wen ChenNone of that is an expense.Costs specifically connected to obtaining the mortgage (appraisal, credit report, origination fee etc.) are combined into "loan costs" and then set up for amortization over the length of the mortgage.The rest is added to the purchase price and results in "tax basis" which is then set up for depreciation over 27.5 years, after allocating a portion of the basis to land.If this process sounds complicated (which it is) - you may need an accountant to help.

I came across this site not too long ago and am much more educated for it.

Finally, it gets complicated if you are using debt.

So far, one thing I have been able to do from at home is connecting with other investors on this site through the PM and having a phone conversation with them.

Even though he rented one on site garage already.
