Thanks Brad, will do 

It made me realize that I may not be cut out to be a land lord.

I feel like I am in a great location for 2% rule rentals (although I might be tagged by some as a slum lord)  we have a bounty of $20-30k homes that can rent from $450-600/month with some elbow grease.I literally have hundreds of questions and I hope to be more active than in the past, I just read Rich Dad Poor Dad and whether you like the author or not, wealth is truly about making your money work for yourself, my wife is on board and I think it's going to take a true partnership one you already have a family to make this work.Thanks in advance for any and all comments or help in the future.

Zubair Afzal nice to meet you drug dealer going slum lord.

I am curious how maintenance on shared items like the roof works.Also Brad Larsen do you or anyone else know why a turnkey franchise would bother selling turnkeys to investors rather than the MLS?

That has served me well.Regardless, don't over-renovate, but also don't be a slum lord. 

@Brad Chandler Thanks!

Buy a lot in a Development, preferrably as construction is BEGINNING....shop around, check out the deed restrictions, make sure it's what U would think about KEEPING & maybe even building there Yourself....hold onto it until 2-3-4 houses are either completed or under construction....check out the price....if it hasn't doubled since there was "nothing", I'll buy You dinner (& buy that lot 4 5% over what U paid for it)This isn't "rocket science", it's smarter, & Lord Knows, safer!

And, this will increase because rents are increasing.Zero State Income Taxes - Nevada has no state income tax.Low Property Taxes - There are metro areas in the US with property taxes exceeding 2.4% (Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, etc.) as opposed to Las Vegas where the average is about 0.86%.Low Cost Landlord Insurance - Land Lord insurance in states with adverse weather like Florida and Texas can exceed $2,000/Yr.
