What are you paying them for?

are there any sites where I can directly search a list of qualified tenants?

In my opinion, that is a total waste.Instead, I would pay 100% attention to who I am speaking with at the time, remember their name, remember 1-2 talking points about them.

Tennessee doesn’t have personal income tax but if we create an LLC we would have to pay state income tax.

My goal when I got the building was to live in my building while having my tenants pay for nearly all of my mortgage.  

With this in mind, should I do a cash out refi on the property in order to buy another property now or should I try to pay it off quicker and add equity, or do nothing at all?

Post back if you find another lender who serves you well, and I will add them to my list and pay it forward.

What happens if they don't pay rent or refuse to lease?

(I'm not sure how this will play out regarding the value of the home and only paying $160k.

I am targeting homeowners with dilapidated homes that need repair and offering to pay for the rehab and split the profits with them at the end of the project after the sale of the home.
