@Bryn Chatterton screening applicants will be SUPER important.This is a copy-paste from our website, so ignore some of the specifics.Robust Tenant ScreeningA bad tenant can lead to thousands of dollars of losses via unpaid rents, legal fees and property damages.

I have seen the tsunami damage in Thailand in 2004.

PM sent pics of all the damages.

You will make more connections with homeowners when you say you live there and you know the blocks and streets around them.

A month later the tenant moved out and owed rent and damages around $3,000.

Here's some hopefully, helpful cut & paste info:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Thankfully the tenant above let us know that they saw them packing a haul so we went in, all was good and non damaged and empty.

Quote from @John Morgan: ... it’s extremely rare for a lawsuit to go for over 1 million in damages.

It's a capital road block.

But a long driveway doesn't help if cars are blocked in by other cars when renters need them to go to work.
