But most inspection reports generally only "guarantee" that there were no Obvious termite signs, and if they didn't trip over the termite, they aren't responsible for not finding them.

We just made a 90-minute trip and listened to episode 12 or 13 (Leon's podcast) on the trip.

The main thing is to keep receipts and track all expenses and trips to the properties so you have the info you need, and understanding what is capital improvements vs. expensed repairs.

Hi,So far, we have our tenants mail their payments to the PO box- old school I know but it works for my tenants :) I save myself a trip to the bank though- with my bank's phone app I can deposit checks from anywhere, but it doesn't work with cashier's checks.My bank offers an online payment option, around $3 each transaction I believe, but I just signed up to accept payments via Intuit, they only charge $.50 per transaction and will update in quickbooks automatically.

when you do pick the area, and find a deal, do you buy sight unseen or are you hopping on flights and doing road trips or what?

It's not so much a problem if you are spending an afternoon and have 4 showings but if you go just for a showing and they want to bring the second renter back the next day it is an extra trip for you.For landlords make sure that you check if they are related and sometimes you need to make sure they are the landlord so ask what is your relationship to x, not are you their landlord.

@Joseph Morell I am a cash buyer@Ned, thanks@Minh L Its still going up (no one knows why lol) yes I bought the property site unseen, I have an Australian friend who lives in KC he checked it out for me, I also got a building and pest inspection done.I am planning a trip late this year to KC.

Add a couple more trips if you are going to tape and bed, and paint it.Option 1: $200-$300Option 2: finish the new ceiling, $100-200 more.

I just got back from a training trip from Chicago to Alaska in an SR20.

Thanks again J Scott-I guess Home Depot forgot to tell me about any "the bid room" so I'll ask next trip.
