My goal is to create a real good cash flow portfolio.

You might be inclined to create an entire financial statement or executive summary for your lease agent.

A good article on insurance is http://www.bankrate.com/finance/insurance/renting-out-a-home-get-right-insurance-1.aspx2. create a note with interest for option payments, and get it with collateral in case they do not pay, every pay period, not every month.3.

Focus on creating a compelling message and a call to action - the substance of your message will go a lot further than a nice logo.Does this make sense?

Some of the turn-key rentals out there were set up to be sell-able but are not at all sustainable once you lose a tenant or need to make repairs.

I learned from the owner's mistakes and I plan to create a system/business that I can teach to one of our tenants before we leave, based on the knowledge I've gained here in BP and elsewhere.Is it reasonable to think I can find 100% financing, whether through sub2 or some other means?

I guess the other option would be to create my own lease specific to that state/county (if they would even use that), but I am not as familiar with the laws out there and I'm guessing I would have to go through the expense of an attorney to draw one up (?).

True the same could be said with real estate...but I'm not sure if the loans (No Doc/Stated income ) that created the crisis will return.

But more so - I love the ability I have to create indefinitely.

Background:Currently my rent is due on the first (postmark) and must be received by the fifth to allow for the mail truck to create some USPS deficit.
