I believe every investment property must meet the following three criteria.Sustained profitability - The property must generate a positive cash flow today and into the foreseeable future, in good times and bad.Appreciating - Appreciating at or above the inflation rate.

You are required to supply the three (3) earnest money deposits and the three (3) option monies by day 3 to the Title company - this is part of your contract, whether you fulfil the contract or back out during your option period.

We previously had a REIA called the RING that met once a month, but it hasn't gotten back going since Covid.  

I'm 32, married with three children (7, 5, 1), and currently am an automotive/industrial painter.

@Mike JeskiI think you are on the right track.You clearly understand the importance of having a network especially when investing in out of area.My suggestion would be to identify your top two or three markets.Plan to spend two or three days visiting each market - meet with brokers, property managers, contractors, talk to the “locals” you meet at bars restaurants hotel parks out and about town.

If you did end up in court and explained that you were going to be three days late with rent, the judge would find in your favor and you would not be kicked out.Your landlord is being unreasonable to not wait three days.

But most importantly, lenders will demand a certain level of rent and net income, with a track record typically of three years at that amount.

They teach the basics of the High Cash Value Life Insurance Policy.If I'd done those three things at age 14, I'd have an eight figure net worth today.

I hope you have three leases (one per tenant).

I was planning on doing  a binder method to the tenant and getting a raise in rent locked in.
