But if something goes wrong, I could find myself making many posts on the Tax Liens, Notes, Paper, & Cash Flows Discussion Forum.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70-tax-liens-notes-paper-cash-flows-discussion

Then you can just live like a tenant and not have to deal with chasing your neighbor down for rent or having them knock on your door to report a clogged toilet at 6am on a Sunday.

I'm doing the analysis of invidual properties, and on paper I've found a few that look promising, but without living in the area I'm afraid of choosing the wrong location.

If you have a paper application, have them complete at the time of the showing and take it right then and there.If not, scannable is a great Freee APp that they can use to scan the application to you. 

Toilet, maybe someone will do a cheap toilet for $150.

There are definitely many challenges with multi family investing in less populated areas especially when the deal looks great on paper but the real situation may be vastly different.

The unit on a different floor would give client's privacy.What I have instead of redoing the whole house is to have a home office, with a bar (replacing kitchen sink with a bar sink) and a bathroom (toilet and sink) with it's own basement entrance.

The latter I use to scan documents with my phone's camera along with keeping digital copies of everything.The only paper that I have is building plans and a notebook I use to scratch notes into. 

I've seen/heard of too many cases where someone gets injured in a rental and then goes after the owner's personal assets.2) Part of making the LLC legitimate is to make sure both on paper and in practice- that it is separate from you.

No big deal .I have 2 kids that dont turn off lights , tv's or flush the toilet .
