You would want to keep track of the location of business activity by state so you can file the proper state tax forms when they are due.Originally posted by "mills014":3) I am married.

I've only done a few rehabs, but I'm looking to move into something more productive in my market.

Screen your tenants properly, and don't give in to temptation. keep them on a fair, but short, leash, and make sure BOTH parties abide by the agreement.

As a treacher, here is the problem/question: in order to coach you properly I have to make sure that you have all of the missing pieces filled in and also that you hae interpreted the information you found correctly.

There are far more good tenants than bad, it's up to you to attract the best prospects and screen them properly.

They sub out other contractors JUST LIKE you could do, and add to their price, the material cost and they dont look for deals either in the product.

In the rental business, they fail for two reasons: lack of cash flow (mainly because they don't understand operating expenses) and the inability to properly deal with tenants.

I want to start leaving letters at abandoned or empty homes in an attempt to reach home owners and I was wondering if anybody that had applied this strategy had an example letter of this sort..I was thinking to just write to call me in case they are willing to sell, but then again, without a properly written letter, this might backfire as people might not understand my intend.. so before I write one of my own, I was hoping to hear some suggestions , so please share if you know anything about this topic.

AND A PROPER PRESENTATION WILL MAKE YOU RICH...
