Yes, you can put the key in a lockbox and have them fill out application online, however I prefer face-to-face to validate that the person who is applying to live in my property is actually the person who is going to live in the property.

@Mariah Porter I prefer in state because I like to be able to drive by my properties, but it’s a preference.

@Jose Valdez Not an easy question to answer actually... are you comfortable investing out of state, or do you prefer something you can drive to and see at any time (local to you)? 

I would much prefer giving my rent money to an investor that cares about their tenants rather than throwing money at some luxury building that feels soulless.I thought it was simply easier coming to the website where property owner's talk rather the hellscape that is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. 

I am planning to save for a year and try to buy another property.Do you all only invest in real estate (stick to what works for you) or do you prefer to invest/diversify in stocks? 

I prefer the LOC because it sits dormant until you need the money quickly.

They usually want something that “fits” the area, even though I might personally think it is corny or passé.Vacation experience preferences vary greatly from person to person, so a condo owner in the Smokies is going to be focusing on vacationers who are either ambivalent about their acccommodation type, or have a preference to condominiums. 

A person cannot include in any advertisement for the rent or lease of housing any limitation or preference based on source of income, or to use representations related to a person's source of income to induce another person to rent or lease property.

@Tyler DavisI think half of the value in showings is getting the chance to interact with the tenant, see how they carry themselves, see how clean they keep their car, etc. 

In fact he is on the prefered contact list with both my lender, Renovo Financial as well as ClickInvest another platform I use.I will DM you his contact information, if he can help he will.
