We had one in a rental (it was already in place when we purchased the property) where the tenants cracked the bottom of the tub and continued to use it; thus rotting the floor out underneath.Gail

It is a risk to hold the place for an extra month. 

Would you feel comfortable sharing your approximate "loss rate"?

Begin with small rent places, invest in REITs, and team up with folks who know the ropes.

I typically work with investors and have a couple agents I work with in which I can share their contact information with you if you have interest. 

Thoughts are appreciated.National Parks will always be a safe place for long term real estate investors.

Main things I obviously am looking to figure out are:1. is it easy to get places rented out there or is there not much demand, 2. how have rent increases been over the last 10ish years in the area, 3. is this area generally somewhere that’s likely to see some good appreciation4. any serious crime concerns, or anything else I’m not thinking of!

Build the secondary units and legalize them, then refinance with them in place.

The end buyer loses the property, and loses any equity and is stuck with losing whatever money down he placed.

Im only at 30 doors, and we are alllll over the place, SFH, MF, MHP, and commercial!
