If we cannot verify the condition of their past rental property with the previous landlords, we do check the condition of their vehicle whenever possible (with a grain of salt, of course), we ask for two months rent deposit though some balk at the idea, and try to visit their house if it is in our area.

@Hud Floyd my wife is a state trooper, and we are house hacking a triplex while renting to a commercial vehicle officer it's been great so far!

I'm just glad our two constructions are on the other side and we bought our upcoming supplies in bulk prior to the 1st.If this keeps up there's going to be a complete halt and/or severe lag time for new construction, and used home prices are going to get the used vehicle treatment.

As such, the rollover as business startup 401k (ROBS) may be the best vehicle for those that want to flip real estate inside their retirement account.

For example, in our location we have to provide covered parking for one vehicle/dwelling unit.

We've all been there, I even had to sell my favorite vehicle one time.....I just rode a bike everywhere til I could get another one.You have to get 'er done now, and get it making money for you......

When my husband and I are showing a unit, one of us will stay out front and "wait for our next appointment to show up" (even if we don't have any more coming) so we can go check out their vehicle while the other one shows them the unit interior. 

The vehicle and strategy can vary widely.  

I'm not sure that I have the stomach or ethics for kicking grandma out on the street and maybe need a different investment vehicle if that's part of tax deed sales. 

AND, you can write off your vehicle expenses!
