Did you or have you ever bought a new house to rent out?

Not sure of the best place to post this so here it goes.I've talked with an online bookkeeper that I like quite well.

When I bought property ex landlord was paying for Cable TV, I asked if anybody was watching and all 4 said no.

I bought two houses right here in SoCal this week... and today is only the first day of the week, and I can't see any reason why I would need to expand into another market, especially one that is on the other side of the country!

Advice: Act on bigger deals sooner and create more relationshipsDone differently: taken more action - bought more properties and held on to as many as possible (less flips), bought larger multi-familiesChoices that didn't produce desired outcomes: Side tracked on deals that didn't fit my modelHorror stories: I talked about this on my podcast interview with Joe Fairless, but not having written contracts/agreements.

If for example his or her property was bought for 300k, 10 years ago, and now its been forclosed for two years, that would mean they paid mortgage for 8 years and have lets say 200k left to pay.

My wife and I just bought a duplex, and inherited a tenant on one of the sides.  

I have tried using the public records online but it doesn't seem that they list either of those addresses.

I've bought several properties this way - relationships with agents are definitely key.

And when the rental total is at 20%, you might not get permission to rent, especially if you're doing BRRRR, unlike mine, when I bought it, stated it was for rental from the start.On the other end of the spectrum, there are condos where it is out of control.
