Everyone’s situation is different, probably every year. 

1 very common thing in Memphis is that almost ALL property is listed too high for numbers to make sense.. and if its listed at numbers that work, then it creates a multiple offer situation and investors end up paying more than they need to.

I am very big on building equity, largely due to my career situation.

85% LTV is possible in the right situation.

Some people in your situation do decide to rent by the room but it is location based. 

If you want to get on a one on one, I'd be happy to look at your current situation and give you advice on next steps.Cheers,

In all my years of Property Management in one of the most tenant friendly Cities in the World, I bet there will be a lot of interested people, regardless if they are actually planning on buying in a tenant friendly City.My management style would be considered highly unusual as I approach these issues so that it becomes a win-win situation and take into account the human element of the tenant.There is potential for me to add more to that Podcast to include how the Portfolio did over the 28 years growth period (1998 to 2025) with real numbers.There will be things like making the Portfolio safer as I age by paying off the Mortgages and increasing cash flow, etc.I'm also a Cloud Software developer (Salesforce specifically) and will be employing a lot of A.I. in 2025.The RE Portfolio is cash flowing very well and I can afford to integrate experimental A.I. to test it out.Things like A.I.

Quote from @Gregory Chadwell: I wonder if having a lead filter installed on the property might help the situation too? 

Again, working on networking to grow my leads into more lucrative deals.I would say that my current situation is "working" although there is a lot of room to grow. 

I’m interested in learning about buying and holding long term rental properties.But I’m in a really messed up situation right now and looking for suggestions what would be the best approach to my situation in order to scale quickly.
