@Kenny Hall Decide whether to flip or buy and hold will depend on your investment goals and whether the property can perform as a flip and/or rental. 

KC, OH, MI and Indianapolis have been very consistent over the last decade in my experience when it comes to both cashflow and appreciation.

I personally have a small printed letter with a professional look to it, I handwrite the owner's name, address, and signature and mail them in a colorful envelope.Whatever you choose to do, as it's been said many times; be consistent and persistent.

If you've delivered a lease to the new tenant and they've signed and paid (there can be no legal contract without exchange of real and valuable goods and services), that person can sue you for performance and costs.

As Covid-19 comes to a stop here(hopefully in the near future), we expect these numbers to skyrocket...Currently, the population and job market is consistently growing, even after Covid-19, which means its a great time to be an investor!

This will help you Interview potential hires with consistency and ensure you hire the best candidate for the job and not just someone you like.

Consistency and networking are key but I'm actively looking to discover different creative methods to attaining success in the business.

Make sure you let them know if you are performing any of the work, or if the repairs will ALL be made with contractors.

Verify income, credit score, and perform a background check.

Most lenders want a consistent employment of at least 2 years.
