Meet people, ask questions, take notes, and research terms you are not familiar with. 

Meeting the team personally has some value but I have worked with dozens of investors who have never been to Memphis and never meet me face to face.

It matters to some, not all, people who live in the house. 

You're in a situation many aspiring real estate investors face—spotting a potentially solid deal but lacking the upfront capital.

When I sell a rental property and face a tax bill, I start looking for another property to buy.  

Yes, this is becoming an increasingly common issue, especially among newer landlords or small property managers who may not yet have robust tenant screening systems in place.Here are some important things to know and do:Common Problems Newer Landlords Face:-Fake pay stubs or bank statements – Easily purchased online or generated by apps.

Instead of a relatively straightforward eviction for nonpayment of rent, you might face a longer and more expensive foreclosure-like process or even a breach-of-contract lawsuit if the tenant claims partial ownership.
