Call me crazy, but when stuff hits the fan the thing that will help you most is references, previous landlords notes, job information and discussion, and how they maintain the cleanliness of their vehicle...a credit score is last in my book for a solid tenant and I've had one late payment in 5 years with 14 rental doors.  

Plan to keep these appliances well maintained.

How do you keep track of your goals and maintain your accountability?

To start with i am looking to f purchasing and maintaining some rental properties and purchasing and flipping investment properties for profit.

Not trying to be rich, I am just trying to maintain what I have along with some stable grow through a variety of different means.  

If you rent you need enough cash flow to maintain the property.

Then you'll have annual follow up inspections to make sure the property is being maintained. 

Either way I am excited to begin, just need to maintain some temperance - hahaha

Any day that you spend working substantially full time repairing and maintaining (not improving) your property is not counted as a day of personal use.

The process makes leasing a unit efficient (quick to screen + pay app fees) and helps us maintain 100% rent collection.
