Just like those smart, traditional financial planners teach us to do.Then again… what about all those infomercials I saw on TV?

:) One idea - you could get one of those screens that just hang in front of a door and are split down the middle, held together by magnets.

I will be finding the properties, analyzing, screening the tenants, hiring repair workers, etc. 

Since I do not live in the US they could not do a proper screening on me.

I also screen, screen, screen my tenants before I rent.

I'm looking for an investor who would like to star with me in a TV show called "Million Dollar Flips."

It's always a good idea to follow the investment advice of a reality TV star.

I am getting set up with WilliamPaid for tenants that don't want to mail checks or deposit at the branch and have a local service that does tenant screening for me.  

I haven't done this in a while, but on the Schedule A, I think, there is a line for "interest paid on a mortgage" for which you have a statement from the bank stating how much you paid (don't know the form numbers, I'm NOT an accountant, although I played one on tv).

If you need drama watch TV.
