If you buy the proper insurance, you can set yourself up correctly from the word go. 

I have no problem draining my reserves for a flip as I know I could borrow on credit card short term if I needed cash and will be out of the flip in a few months.But starting out, just set aside a reserve in a bank account.

It may be somewhat arbitrary because the value is in the land under it.If you price it properly and there are builders in the area, it will sell even on the MLS. 

Properly screen her as usual and then add her as another occupant but he's the financially responsible tenant.

Visit builders, regular drop-bys, replenish business cards, network.

I will stay at the airbnb at least once (probably more) to come behind and check that everything was properly taken care of, but I can't make that trip constantly.

Thank you @Becca Summers right now I am still getting my down going I have about 50-75k in equity in my first house but I want to get rid of some credit cards that we used to do some work on my main house then I will use the equity and whatever cash I had down to make a huge down payment on my first rental to make it as risk free as possible I could already afford about a 2k mortgage on top of this one that I have but I don't want to restrict myself cash wise anymore then I have to on my first property 

if you are near the end of the lease for the tenant you can list it with seller notes saying currently occupied and will be delivered vacant by end of escrow and make sure to give the proper notice to the tenant that you will not be renewing it

I found a off-market deal about 2 months ago, and I was about to close the deal, but apparently the owner has some tax problems.They owe 6k at the county and from what he said " there was an issue where their payments were not being properly applied to their account for several months and they can't even make anymore payments until the company tracks down the payments they already made".

Truth be told we turn away a good amount of “brokers” as they show their cards in a very fast way... over charging points, misquoted terms...
