I am a HUGE passive income guy so I invest heavily in Blue chips paying nice dividends, as well as REITS, MLPS, and undervalued mature companies that will throw off a nice dividend.My goal is to preserve my capital and live off of my dividend income as well as my Real Estate income.

Even if every unit is "Identical" doesn't mean the builder built them to the inch measurements... so if the wall is 1 inch shorter, you could have issues trying to do pre-fabbed work there.  

Yet, people read posts from then and try to copy that is if it'll mature like clockwork.

Becoming a successful real estate investor involves a shift in identity that doesn't come from reading a single book or even some hands-on experience.

I noticed most ppl park thier cars on the side of the road. its a nice mature and secluded neighborhood but the school district is not the best.

The question I have is there a no cost or low cost options to verify identity/background  of people I rent out. 

My first a second properties are nearly identical in home value and rent but was able to get the second for much less with a few simple strategies. 

There's a lot of variation within that and the long-term outlook for each neighborhood is not the same.It's not uncommon to find 100 year old houses in E, S and W San Antonio, which may be good for you if that means more demand for property inspections - I'd be interested to hear your perspective.San Antonio has a unique identity with the Missions and a strong Latin culture.

@Michael Norris let me know what you find and what your thoughts are on the appliance warehouse I didn't have the chance to tour the one you're getting, but I've been through the identical house right next door (which just rented for $1150).  

Landlord insurance is typically 10% to 20% more than home owner’s insurance.The following table shows the effect of just property tax and insurance on cash flow for an “identical” property in three different locations.
