Hope you're staying safe out there! 

I started driving for dollars everyday in Maryland, and noticed some of the things these GURUs talk about, and started taking notes on what investors look for.

The goal drives the best strategy, not vice versa.

Also, PA is a short drive away and much more affordable so consider that as well.

Specific to you as a real estate agent, track all miles you drive showing homes and write that off in Sch C P2 box 44A (yes I have that memorized) to the greatest extent your CPA tells you it's lawful to do -- this is one of those magic write-offs that minimizes your tax burden while having zero impact on mortgage qualifying income.

Hi Guys and Gals,How would the other landlords handle a 24 month tenants who just a few months into the lease emailed you saying they want to brake the lease as they longer feel safe at the property.

I've recently been driving for dollars, and was blown away by how many vacant, distressed, abandoned houses I drive by daily that never paid attention to before because my eyes weren't trained to see what I have just recently become aware of. 

It's in a nice safe area that I would be thrilled to live in.Now I'll go over some of the financials.Price of the property: $120,000FHA loan payment: $1000 (Rough estimate including loan, insurance, PMI, property taxes)Current rent per unit: $550, 550, 600, 600.

I just feel like, say if I were dishonest and was trying to sell a property with some big flaws, I’d try to fly it under the “sorry tenants can’t be bothered, drive by’s only” excuse and hope for the best.

I did this because as I drive to work I see the signs everywhere l, so I figured they work.
