So if i have to worry about a tenent that will break into my part of the house how can i get into rental biz and trust any tenants of any house i rent out.R2 how do you sleep at night knowing that in your huge empire of apartment buildings theres probably someone cooking oil from the weed they grew...down the hall is the ex con smoking crack and possibly burning your whole future.If i cant trust the tenent i bring into a basement suite i think i better think twice about getting involved in rental part of REI.Maybe rehabs are the better way less human factor

Most likely you might be able to offer them a price to leave it when they move out.Renting in Texas is great, also anything a tenant installs in the house is to remain with the house when they move out, even a smoke detector.Put the garage door opener in, but not the sprinkler system as for reasons already listed.get out of the deal as soon as you can, 130 a month cashflow is going to kill your pocket in the long run.

The price drop has been much more substantial with single families versus apartments.Invest in what you know and make sure whatever you buy, you get a smoking good deal.

I just make sure no paint is peeling, look for anything unsafe, and checks smoke alarms and co2's.

Other than that I'm pretty much left in the dark.

Your  handyman can go by there a couple of times a year, in addition to repairs, to change batteries in smoke and CO2 detectors, and just as important, report back to you anything he sees that might be amiss.  

1.2 DSC is low for restaurant types.Restaurants go dark more than any other NNN asset.

They can't afford it.Make sure you spell out building rules, where people can smoke cigarettes, drink beer, when are quiet hours, how many people can they have on property before they notify you, how long can a visitor stay before they request permission(I do three nights).  

If someone says otherwise they are blowing smoke.

Finding value seems like a shot in the dark.
