Carl Ichan and T.

"Survivors frequently suffered the “double victimization” of housing discrimination when landlords evicted or refused to rent to them because of “zero tolerance” policies on disturbing the peace, calls to police or violence committed by a member of the household or guest (whether authorized or not)."

Building that "boots-on-the-ground" team is honestly my biggest concern with out of town investing, since I want to make sure I am working with people I can fully trust before committing.  

My efforts feel somewhat haphazard, and I hope that an accountability partner or group can help bring more focus.An ideal partner would be at approximately the same stage—slightly behind or slightly ahead—and willing to commit to ~30-minute weekly check-ins to review progress and set goals for the coming week.

Quote from @Henry T.: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Collin Hays: We are seeing asking prices at approximately 10-12X the trailing twelve months rents (only rents). 

(There's a continuum, I get it - but hopefully the sentiment lands.)Of your "questions" at the end of your post, I think your first outcome (1.) is probably the most likely and I would begin preparing for that eventuality (i.e. engage a L/T attorney, procuring cash reserves for non-payment during eviction, funds for extensive renovation). 

Ask if they would partner with you in your goal, (not so much a profit partnership, but you could) but as to committing to a mutually beneficial arrangement for the long haul.

I find that is most often Verizon or T-Mobile.

The fact that you’ve already taken the leap by buying your own home, showing up here, and committing to learn says everything about your mindset.

If you come in heavy-handed you will scare most your tenants and they will commit to leaving w/o telling you.
