I am always looking for tips and ideas about issues that investors run into.I purchased my first investment property last month and the first problem I ran into, wasn't with the house but the seller!!

(Link to old thread .. no need to click just linking it --> https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1166206-seeki...)Ill try to attach the report here to this thread not sure if i can do that . below ill also give some general stats so you have a better idea of the "Rural" I'm talking about.

Here’s a picture of the last one that I bought.This is something I haven’t thought of before, and I like the idea since I travel a ton. would you be able to share some more info?

You do have the legal right to enter the home with proper notice, but given what you've said...do you feel safe doing that?

Keep in mind what's required and maybe talk to a CPA on how to properly get it tax-advantaged in the long run.Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm sure you can get things started and the experts in your area could bring you to the closing table!

Going into the next deal you should have a lot better idea of what to look for and red flags to avoid.

And, in the Covid world, sending anything by mail to the IRS is a very bad idea, period.The only sensible way is to submit your 1099s to the IRS online, however not directly with the IRS.

He gets me deals that aren’t listed yet, he takes me to see whatever I’m interested in even if he thinks it’s a bad idea, then once I’ve seen it he tells me he thinks it’s a bad idea and why. lol.

I have an idea of who I want to be in the future  and I hope to soon find a mentor who I could share my ideas, learn from and could guide me throughout my journey.

But we're out of ideas to increase the security that aren't prohibitively expensive, i.e. fence/gate.
