@Anna DyalThe thing that is not talked about enough is when you put these mortgages in your name your credit and DTI are effected.  

If your property is in California review all the landlord tenant laws particularly those that went into effect January this year.

I was initially going to purchase a fiberglass or steel door, but figured it would be more cost effective to just work with the door I have.

We use Wayfair and Build.com for many items and they usually have a good selection and an easy return policy. 

We work with out-of-state/foreign investors consistently and the key is communication and being the type of company that is technologically forward-thinking (i.e. the ease of sharing photo/video updates and making selections for your property).Your first protection is making sure you can run the numbers for the right deal - looks like you have a good head for the numbers you need to hit, so you're on the right track already!

And that is because properties are so darn expensive that they HAVE to make their properties 2-4 unit to make it cost effective.  

For example, the L10 meeting is something that every real estate business should be running weekly if they want to grow effectively.  

So I effectively have off 27 weeks/year. 

Screening and tenant selection are all on you and don't involve Section 8 at all. 

Negative interest rates can wake up the underutilized resources and be an effective tool to encourage investments, with less side effect, i.e. inflation, than west European countries.
