Hi everyone, some basic questions as I try and learn some of the basics.  

I am basically learning about the wholesaling.

He is well meaning but his team is basically incompetent.

Bottom line though for a buy and hold investor Property tax's are an important component and all things being equal if your in non appreciating states. .Like Texas basically has been for ever and a day ( except Austin ) and the little bit of run up they have had..

@Christian Brodin  I hear ya on the cheap Memphis Multi's I don't think I have seen a city with more boarded up fairly new 40 to 100 unit complex's  and you just know some west coast group is going to make yet another run at them... sink a bunch of money into them only to have them basically be cannibalized by the tenant base there...

I have basically been doing some investing (buy and holds) as a pass time, but I'm looking to grow and turn this thing into a full blown business.

Also use 2 previous landlords as reference to avoid being tricked by the guy who your prospective tenant is already ripping and he wants rid of.

I checked out their state license and found no issues with them Basically, they would be using my home soley as a home to take care of their clients.

Given my background, I’ve negotiated literally hundreds of contracts and deals by following 5 basic steps. 

I can keep you in your house for one year call me "With the tenant base your dealing with most will know these tricks very shortly.. just like they know how to manipulate every single social program out there.
