Most reputable landlords wouldn’t try to pin those on you, but it’s good to have backup in case you need it when you move out.

If the renters are stable, good tenants, and law abiding, then it would indicate the neighborhood is not as bad as its reputation.

. :)Network, go to local investor meeting, reach out to people on Bigger Pockets and MARKET yourself as a reputable business that can find off market deals. 

Check out Ohio State Waterproofing, reputable company, their info and work is easy to find online.If I had to guess, 85% of the times we get this call, the issue is minor and rather inexpensive.

If you are looking to network with investors, I would recommend going to local REIA meetings to build your reputation as an investor-friendly agent.

Working on the first deal, either duplex or triplex in south fl and need a reputable investor-friendly lender.

@Travis Hole find a reputable turn key company and REALLY do your homework if you want to be out of state, but my suggestion is stick to your area 50 miles around you i bet you can find a few good solid rental properties. just might have to put in more work is all

Another thought is, if there is a difference between what the tenant is paying and what you would have reasonably been able to rent the place for (it would help to be able to substantiate with a third party such as a reputable PM company), you can ask the seller to adjust the price by the difference.

You’ll need to do a lot of due diligence upfront; if you wait until your offer’s accepted to do due diligence, most deals will fall through and your reputation will be worse than 1.

That means proper respirators, Tyvek suits, booties, negative air machines, lots of 6 mil plastic, duct tape, heavy duty trash bags, etc.
