LIFE-CHANGING ACTIONS here.STEP 1-20.You need to get you personal home rent-ready... not overboard updating, just rentable... clean and painted etc.Fix any leak faucets, loose doorknobs etc NOW, so that when your PERFECT tenant moves in, they won't be calling you to fix those.Put in new 5 Year Lithium Battery (write the date installed ON THE OUTER SHELL) of SMOKE DETECTORS (draw faint red stripes across the front outer shell of smoke detectors-- red means fire or smoke-- when the smoke clears (if the house didn't burn down) it's ok to reset the smoke detector and finish cooking dinner.ON CO DETECTORS (draw faint gray stripes across the front outer shell of a CO--teach your tenant the gray stripes mean DEATH-- if that alarm EVER starts beeping, they are to immediately raise windows , open doors and call you---even if its 2am--- A REPAIR MUST BE MADE or people can DIE-- little children and elderly go first

The investor is like a child in a candy store.....WOW......which candy should I eat next and next....... you as the investor is the kid, all those houses out there are your candies......go for it.
