I wanted to share my experience, and ask if anyone here use airbnb in place of regular leases.I found it fairly easy; my physical presence is not needed.

I would also invest in physical gold or silver or a real estate investment trust where the seller is in it financially. 

If there is any way to get the house before march I would love to know.PS I have mental and physical disabilitiesThanks.

And then the physical cost of turnover could easily be over $1,000, unless the tenant was very light on the place. 

Pros of key-less locks:- Able to set-up easy access even remotely- No need of changing lock cylinders, make key copies, or set-up physically the locks- Less risk of tenants having several key copies running aroundCons:- Some tenants are not up-to-date with technology (specially elderly class), so you may need to exchange the smart lock for a conventional one- More added cost for technology- Battery operated- Some have covers that if lost or damage, they are not easily replaced (specially battery cover). 

@Gina Carter I’d say trusting you’ll find good tenants (qualified and respectful) who pay on time, plus check in on the physical property outside monthly, and inside at least quarterly to check filters, carpets, toilets, etc.

As long as they are reachable for emails, calls and physical mailings. 

Alan Ceshker- Attny- does many non qualified loan assumptions and wraps.There is an easy way to get around the due on sale clause should they physically invoke it. 

@Michinori KanekoThere is a tax terminology of "constructive receipt" which indicates that income is earned by you even if it is not physically with you so long as you have a right to it or with one of your agents.The pre-paid rent would be taxable in year of receipt by the property manager.

I have a 401k, sep ira, Robinhood, lending club, physical gold and silver.
