I need to respect the tenants privacy as well as keep an eye on my investments.

The rural development loans didn't work for us this time due to the lifestyle up here, with an eye towards renting to single families, we didn't want to add the caveat of having to haul water to a dry property, and most renters want amenities such as electricity and plumbing lol.

Yes my eyes are open to house fires.

And I just had a little eye-opening experience that I thought I'd pass along.I've got to thank a guy named @Brandon Turner for this.  

Thanks for the ears/eyes, BP!  

This specific property recently caught my eye as a too good to be true kind of offer.

Sherrif tells Dori  please leave and go sit in your car.. next thing I know she is on the phone crying her eyes out our hold over tenant has ended his life...

I better get smart, or I'll blink my eyes and find myself old(er) and broke(er).I know I am not alone.
