Some jobs require that when working remotely that they are at home and not some other place like a public place for security reasons.

@Scott ChampionRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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?

The goal for our work is to get your rental set up on a platform, vet your first tenant and then get the tenant secured before you are independent.

Quote from @Ryan Smith: Hi everyone,With what's happening in the stock and securities market, now is the best time for many passive investors. 

Your property listing can also be a great way to lay out qualifying criteria (i.e credit score minimum, and require a co-signer if lower).After conducting due diligence into a particular tenants situation, and you decided to proceed with an application approval, you could require a higher security deposit.

I'd be pretty irritated over the loss of 6k, 4 months of stopped work and the corresponding holding costs.Do you invest in OH, or somewhere else?

Once you're more secure, it’ll be easier to plan for growing that portfolio.

The other factor to consider is less tangible, but comes with mental security.  

I use the virtual accounts for security deposits, reserves, etc.
