Do a lot of reading and then come back.

I've been reading some of the forums in BP and I know some say to educate yourself, then build a buyers list.

If you are trying to hit a specific rate of return that you read or saw somewhere use 100% occupancy. 

I've read the landlord tenant laws and didn't find anything on service animals. 

If you get a pressure reading at the meter, and then inside the house while the water is flowing, you may be able to determine if its the supply line.  

Hey all,I read a more general post to this question and maybe there are even more out there but I am wondering as a first time investor in a rental property, how much (maybe percent?)

I’ve been reading a lot of posts.

I'm just never sure about what applies to our situation after reading the city rules and regs, partially because I probably don't want them to apply to me and because I feel like we're just small potatoes and the rules are meant to apply to the big fishes.

A lot of people start out doing this to establish credit, generate income, and learn the property management/investment process.Most importantly, I recommend you read every book possible on real estate investing.

I have read several books on investing and the general answer is that it depends.
