The books don't look exactly dog-eared.

Is the airport noise an issue in surprise?

How do you handle tenants doing drugsHow do you handle noise complaintsHow do you handle vehicle violationsHow do you keep a tenant long term?

I have been trying to keep my ears and eyes open for any seller financing deals in my area.

Hi Melissa,That is how we did our first flip, and the experience was as others have described - noise and dust all day, inconvenience, etc.

My advice would be to try to rent an airbnb in the vicinity to get a sense of the specific complex (noise level, kids running around all day?

All 4 of my properties rented out in less than 2 weeks, and 3 of the 4 have had the same original tenants, (one just resigned for a 2 year lease) so low turnover.All my tenants have communicated their love for the properties they occupy, and the area they are in and that they want to stay long term, which is music to a landlords ears. 

On top of that, you live under them and don't want to have them start making noise and try to disturb you at all hours.Why they move-- buying a house or whatever--- is really irrelevant.

I'm always all ears and hungry for this real estate.

Evictions for noise are rare.http://www.hmc.harvard.edu/investment-management/performance-history.html
