I really like the mindset of preparing for things to go wrong.

Rent only with leases and whether the tenant is a friend or not you will need to be prepared to evict if they do not pay the rent when it is due.

Tax preparation is complex, but TurboTax Software really takes the guessing out of it.

We will watch and see if the property comes back up on Hubzu, in which case, we may bid again, once better prepared. 

Preparer?

Be prepared with your previous earning statements and your current contract through year XXXX with your full earning potential.

Asheville is a hot market right now, so I am excited to learn from all of you as I prepare to purchase my first rental property by the end of this year (I wrote it down so it must be true, right?) 

It has been prepared and approved by local realtor association (NVAR to be specific: That's short for Northern Virginia Association of Realtors).

It all comes down to your tolerance for risk and your ability to accurately prepare multiple exit strategies. 

I felt like I was well-prepared since the exam felt pretty easy overall.
