Things to think about include how the market is doing, your own money situation, what you aim to achieve, and the kind of property and where it is.

@Jared ZabawaResearch doing a subject-to transaction where you purchase the property 'subject to the existing loan.' 

I tell them who I am, how and where they can pay rent, how they can communicate with me (ordinary vs. emergency), and that I need to perform an initial inspection of the property within one week.

I live in a smaller and older suburb of Fort Worth where I am less likely to get tracked down (I see evidence of work on properties all around me that are clearly not permitted or up to code), but also know that the specs on the house will change with the appraisal district once I get the property refinanced. 

I asked Hostaway about this and they said it's better to have one bank account where all the money is going into, such as my business bank account.

The location of the property is the most important factor.Look for properties where you can add value over time and aim for deals that leave you with some equity in the property.

Once the urine is in there it seems to cause future pets to also "go"I am interested in the Reno area, I have been there many times, in public but did not notice a lot of dog owners , at least compared to Bay Area or central Oregon where dog ownership seems high.  

Seeing the place where you made so many memories with your family trashed, and then going through the emotional turmoil of repairing and remodeling it, knowing it will eventually just get trashed again...are you prepared for that?

They take the guts out of it where they shoot it, and then strap it onto the trunk of the car or in the bed of their truck and take it back to their house, and hang it upside down from a tree limb to let the blood drain out of it for a certain amount of time.

We were talking hypothetically if you were targeting markets where investments were under 250k which would be the best markets to look in.
