. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

Would like to know which county is better in terms of jobs, safety, quality of schools and from the overall quality of life perspective.

At the end of the day, tenant safety and liability is the priority, and if that's not an issue, you should be fine.

In my experience, the best SEO strategy is listening to what Google is prioritizing and making sure that is on your website.

@Matt Higgins there's little safety in being an entrepreneur.

Structural Integrity and Safety: Assess the structural integrity of the house before starting the renovation.

It is very common to educate the tenant up front that they are accepting the property "as is" and the Landlord/PM will only repair issues regarding safety, health, or the function of the rental.

Many of those are less concerned with initial cash flow and place a lot more value on safety then 2nd total returns.

What are thoughts on creating a safety net before property one and then two?
