I have rented to individuals like this before and they will drive you nuts.

I drive methodically drive my farm area looking for vacant properties (high grass, unplowed driveways, trash that never moves, overgrown plants. ask neighbors, etc.)

But "the lease was terminated and she refused to leave" is a much stronger case than "she's driving me crazy."

This will be the driving force that will keep you motivated when you encounter obstacles. 4.

Get a map of your target area and start driving for dollars: a)Note the types of neighborhoods you're in (rental areas, mostly home owners, "bad" or "good" or up and coming neighborhood, what's nearby?)

If you wanted to take the drive, we are having a BiggerPockets Meetup in Portland on the 26th of July!

This drives up the rental prices and almost eliminates vacancies if timed correctly.

That comes down to screening the applicants.In Texas, the big drive behind the bill was the low income housing authority...

Currently rents are quite low even with healthy growth in the job market and relatively low delivery of new projects.

You may want to try some "driving for dollars" style marketing to get some sellers for flips in the area.If you find yourself in the need for architectural help on your future flips, please feel free to contact me.Have a stellar week,Ryan
