First, by having the best structure and procedures to avoid disaster.  

@Martin M.My First property had squatters so I had to go to court to evict them.

There are several housing grants available for first time and qualified home buyer's.

Bigger Pockets has a book called First to a Million, and it's just for you.Check out chapters 26 and 27.

Typically tenant placement is the first month of rent so 100 bucks seems a little on the low side, what are they doing to advertise your property that they are able to do it for only 100 bucks?

I’m have my first house built in Portsmouth VA and will be renting out two of rooms in a 3 bed  3.5 bath townhome. 

My first knee jerk reaction is get her out of there haha. 

Working through my first eviction without an attorney in Colorado.

"couldn't confront the tenant directly because he manages it remotely from Oregon"....... what a horrible cop outThe city could document the HUNDRED of night the unit was booked as a STR....and the LL made ZERO effort after the first issue to monitor to see if hit the STR market again?

@Robert Sorrels well, congrats on buying your first home.
