I'm pretty sure if you look up Harden or bulletproof your rental you will be able to find this thread, it is full of fairly low cost ways to make your rental better protected form rough tenants.

However I do have some questions that may be relevant no matter what country you are in so please feel free to pass along any advice :) I am currently looking at purchasing my first property and I have done a fair bit of homework, but I am looking for some experienced guidance on choosing my best option to start out.

Sorry to sound so harsh, but purporting to be an altruistic for-profit Investor is fairly close to being an oxymoron in my dictionary.In reality, it's their LENDER who will decide how much they can be helped.If you're investing, why treat underwater properties differently to any other?

Our market (DFW) is fairly competitive which is one reason direct-mail looks attractive.I appreciate any advice or feedback.Thanks!

Hi my name is Gabriel Reff and I'm fairly new to the whole realestate scene...

I have't seen any in person yet in Berlin but did a fair amount of analysis and numbers look phenomenal COC wise even considering 15% vacancies, but then question is how long it can sustain and where is leads to or there is any good news up in horizon?

I am in the Cincinnati area and there are a fair amount of homes the fix up.

Everyone keeps saying that, that the price is low, we didn't question it because the last architect that did a set of blue prints also a custom plan of 2000 Sq ft cost us $2000 and it passed city inspection and we got permits for it built it and sold it, so the $3200 this new architect priced us seemed fair for a 3000 Sq ft.
