We then show the unit and if we still like each other we do a more thorough screen including background and CC.

When I get an accepted offer, I'll do a more thorough job and take notes of what is needed to be sure im not over paying.And regarding tools, its just a flashlight during the first, and maybe a knife or screwdriver to check for things like rotting wood. 

In a lot of areas, especially the larger cities,  there is growth and a more stable economy than other areas.For example, Tarrant County, where Fort Worth is has a tax rate of 2.16% of the value.

@Reda Bennani I like Providence and think it’s a more affordable place to get started in rental real estate than Boston, but what are you asking about specifically?

Notices typed up and mailed, certified mailed and posted on a more than monthly basis.

This is a more permanent debt solution where you are also inflating your expenses. 

Maybe it might be prudent to consider a more affordable home.

If you have an apartment bldg, probably better I have a LLC for the asset protection since it’s a more valuable asset and with so many tenants there is a greater chance, ie risk, of something going wrong.LLC generally have some cost.

I have some savings, but the deals I’ve been involved in I have no money in and mostly deal with contractors and the tenants and all the other odds and ends.I want to have more capital to become a more valuable asset to future partners and I stumbled across wholesaling.

Instead of keeping multiple tens of thousands in cash in a savings account, I keep much less in savings and instead have a more robust stock portfolio that I use as a sort of extended reserves that I can liquidate in case of emergency.
