If property taxes go up for instance, I will be raising my asking rent.Another thing to think about: I intend to hold onto my properties long term and care mostly about cash flow.  

For instance, Virginia limits security deposits to be no more than two months of periodic rent. 

For instance, if you have property A, B, C, D, and E, you can group them all into "one" activity.

very happy with my sfr so far plan on buying more ..I m dealing with Midwest equities and I highly recommend them..total transparency.Looking toward the future seems,there is little info on larger multi unit opportunities.. for instance is thier a company out thier that specializes in that segment 

You then review it with the tenant to verify the contents and learn any other pertinent matters about their relationship with the landlord (i.e. the landlord has been discounting their rent by $50 because they mow the lawn).In your instance, you may need to interview the tenants and fill-in blanks on a pre-drafted estoppel or prepare one from the interview and return for signatures attesting the contents (the estoppel should be witnessed).  

Another instance was a horse property I leased while I was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC.

If it was in FL for instance, the guy who terminated the lease early would be liable for all it's empty time until it's re-leased again.

For instance, I have 15 units right now in four separate buildings, fully rented for $275,000.

For instance - perhaps for your first project, flip a home that is small enough to make sense as a rental if you are unable to sell.  

One near me in MD, for instance, charges $500 up front for MLS listing, sign, lockbox, agent help when needed, etc., then 1/2% commission at closing and you decide buyer agent fee, 2-3%.
