Our standards for qualifying to rent a unit are simple and fair.

@Daniel Haberkost that seems simple enough.

I could also have them go through escrow if necessary, but because this is my first deal and working with buyers who I trust, looking to make it more simple all around.

Our best deals have been the ones where we get the property for a fantastic purchase price and our value add is pretty simple and straight forward. 

It was such a simple “sacrifice” for such a short period of my life I try to tell everyone I meet how they could do it.

Looking for as simple as possible. 

I've read having your License is a great tool for starting out, learning some of the business, and opens up tools and resources. two questions for either bird dogging, becoming a landlord, or considering house flipping, 1)  Is this a good step to take early on.2) is there a simple path to take to get access to the resources?

Simple example: I want to purchase a multi-family property for $100k and am willing to put down $10k of my money.

You can calculate redemption price tag by creating a spreadsheet that starts with the date of the auction, and the amount due on the date of the auction, then you accrue interest at 12% per year.On my spreadsheet, to keep things simple, I usually create one column that lists the date the interest starts--such as the date of the auction, and the date of payment of each year's taxes after that. 

In less than a month, we got them sold to local buyers who also know the area and they were able to move really quickly.People here on BP complain there are no good deals left.And yes, they are fewer now vs. 2009 but if you know where to look and CAN ACT QUICKLY, you can still get great deals.One simple measure we used is Price per Unit.
