Now, you can decided if you are willing to make that trade-off.FWIW, I would ALWAYS still get the inspection done.

I am not an attorney, but at a minimum, you're going to need (1) adequate property insurance, (2) a standard lease agreement, (3) a method for vetting tenants/doing background checks, (4) a method for collection of rent, and (5) possibly a license for the property to be operated as a rental (you will have to check the requirements in your jurisdiction).

Any tried and true methods? 

I lived and managed a 3 family home owned by my brother where I cleaned, minor fixes things, painted the floor where I lived and left better than I got it, I also took care of renters, collected rent, cut grass, and cleaned snow in winter for a fair trade of really low rent where I was able to save money while learning to manage a rental property.

I also heard investors don’t like personal checks because tenants might say “it got lost in the Mail” let me know your methods!

Or maybe they are simply removed as a lead, left on "the list" getting normal monthly newsletters, communications, etc.As long as their is a method to the madness, this is progress in my opinion.

I use the Enema method.

I think I’m going to change my method to start.

This method must be working for some people, i get it.

- Any luck with the BRRRR method in this area?
