I always get their insurance and licenses to be sure they are up to date. 

@Sammie Baker - if you're using conventional financing (FNMA/FHLMC) you are required to have a 6mo seasoning period between acquisition date (deed) and the new note date (closing). 

On 3 separate occasions, the appraiser gave me their word that I would have the appraisal back by a selected date.

You can also use less then 2 years SE if the previous year is enough and your year to date profit and loss is not less or declining from the previous year. 

Hello fellow investors, just curious, while eviction moratoriums are happening, are purchasing rental single family homes a good idea from a land lord’s perpective of getting paid by tenants?

Hello Fellow Real Estate Enthusiasts, I am hoping this thread can get us tech professionals networking with one another and discussing our experiences in real estate.

In the letter, we tell the tenant who to make checks payable to, where to deliver the payments to, the date the rents are due and date the rent is late.In the introduction letter we tell tenants we intend to improve the property and we tell tenants that we want them to contact us and report every maintenance issue asap.As for taking over any property, there are always a hundred improvements that can be done within the first few months.

I won the case, but it took exactly 5 years to settle, EXACTLY, from the date the lawsuit was filed and I did not win money in court.

Hi, Fellow STR investorsI have seen many posts on this topic, but I am still a little unclear on the best practice for this situation: what is the best way to deal with guests requesting to stay longer than 28 days (or 30 days for some places) and therefore have tenant rights?

I haven't had too much luck in the past years in meeting fellow military real estate investors.
