@Jamie Powers About 60% of the time, my tenants are "normal" cleanliness and make an attempt to clean themselves prior to handing over the keys. 

I just put that power in his hands Who can get accepted, yes I have veto power.I have done a cosigner it worked ok, the cosigner must have deep pockets!

Enjoyed following the thread..My boyfriend and I are looking into moving to Dripping springs for more financial freedom as we are currently living in California.

The land was inherited by the kids of the lady who passed away and nothing is built there or has been, but it does have power and water to the lot. 

I have listening to the Flip 2 freedom podcast and wholesale inc podcast.

I see the value, and SEO is the most powerful tool and easily the most cost effective.

freedom to choose to be real estate entrepreneurs and the ability to actually do it.. once your put our mind to it.. 

So even if your lease says you can charge the tenants for the remainder of the term as well as a lease break fee( which the lease should say on both) you still have to do everything in your power to find a tenant right away.  

My wife and I would love to live here 6 months out of the year once we reach financial freedom.
