.: Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: Buffalo is a good market to invest long term if you get a good property, on a good street, in good condition.  

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: Quote from @Mark Cruse: Yes, there will be more expenses above what's mentioned here but if this is done properly it can be kept to a minimum.

FYI, I'm also a modular dealer so you have no idea what I messaged her about. 

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

Considering traveling nurses/workers, as well as seasonal rental for ND home games (also a huge Fighting Irish family).

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: Quote from @Scott Trench: Welcome to BiggerPockets, Rebecca!

Every adult should be fully screened to ensure you aren't renting to a violent criminal, drug dealer, etc.

Real estate transactions, especially flips, come with specific tax implications such as the potential for dealer classification, short-term capital gains, and cost allocation for renovations, which can significantly impact your tax liability.

Technically it would be best to get a C Corporate or S Corp. to flip properties and since you are considered a dealer if you do several properties a year and this could have negative tax consequences in an LLC.

I feel like I've dealt with every time crazy situation there is here in Chicago with squatters, evictions, drug dealers, etc., and I still love Cook County because I have a solid team and underwrite deals properly.I think @Paul De Luca nailed it on the head, though - it seems like you are quite risk-adverse, so maybe given your risk tolerance, it's not the best idea, but if it were me, I would not think twice about it, and find a rock start property manager who knows exactly how to vet tenants.
