anyone own rental properties on here?

Mortgage payments generally stay the same, real estate/rents go up.
I have owned several rentals, I always purchased a house with a suite-able full height basement, or able to shoot a master suite up thru the roof.
Then re-mortgage for the down-payment for the next one, and the next one.
Think long term.
We averaged one every 4-5 yrsish.
Headaches, - you bet, lotsa them.
Get "applications" at a viewing, .
You need to research each and every tenant ! !
Don't get lazy, go to where they live now, and look over the yard, go up to the door, knock on the door, and say they forgot a space on the rental application (bullshit) -you just wanna peek inside where they live now !
Check with their employer, see if their future is bright.
You want folks that worked at their present job for years, and the same for the spouse.
DON'T Be LAZY ! !
IT'll cost you big time ! !
GO OVER and personally pick up the rent check EVERY MONTH !
Look around the yard.
The "insurance" company may require you to walk thru every 3 months or so .

In the 80's, I once went over with a golf club, and smashed all the windows outta a house, that hadn't paid rent in over 3 months, and wouldn't move, eviction notice, sheriff and all. No power/water for months !
They were gone the next day ! ! Lol
Made lotsa $$$, had lotsa regrets !!
I encouraged my kids to do the same, and would definitely do it again !
