I was caught in the position where I took money order for deposit and first month rent only to find out the tenants in later months didn't have a checking account and now I'm forced to meet up with them for payment (due to the fact I think mailing money orders is dangerous and they'll find a way to use the excuse lost in the mail).

I'm simply vocal about the city because you've got people promoting it like crazy for its "cheap deals" to unsuspecting new and wanna be investors, and if I'm not talking about the dangers, there are relatively few others with as amplified a voice as I have out there warning them.

A support network is key for low income tenants as often they are one paycheck away from being on the street and I'm no social worker.

That sounds dangerous.

hi guys, I was told that least option is the single most dangerous way to get involve in RE is that true.

The power of social media.

If you have tenant problems you could have relationship problems.Couple stress points that come to mind in a rehab situation:1 - After a long day of rehab you say something derogatory about the previous owner/maintenance upkeep2 - You go to make a change that will disturb a precious childhood memory3 - You try to rent and she gets defensive about who lives in her house.I should note; I'm not very diplomatic about the things I say to people in my social circle about my tenants.

One description of this SFR says "Property is occupied by transients, drive only, please don't go by yourself it can be dangerous"Um, okay, so maybe I can see why this is the only fixer in the area that is not listed as "Back-Up Offers Only".... but, if someone buys this place I would assume the new owner can go in with police and clear the place out, no?

Short sales sometimes take a long time.Buying at the auction is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

With seven years in the rearview mirror, and our real estate market looking like it’s considerably healthier, I’ve decided to test the waters again, and hang my real estate license with a local boutique broker here in Southern Utah.Straddling both sides of the 9 to 5 fence - I now find myself working from 4 AM until 1 PM at my day gig, then putting back together the pieces of my long neglected real estate website, and social network until late in the evening.While it’s a long and arduous battle to reestablish contacts… As well as create new ones, I know it’s ultimately worth it.I currently find myself trying to re-establish some high-value reciprocal links for SEO purposes.
