as is prop value 75k and minimum loan size of 50k. as long as its turn key 30 year fixed is available. yes there are some fees and rate will be a touch higher. if it cash flows get it closed.

Like deferred maintenance, (bad roof, worn out water heater/AC Unit, warped flooring, water damage) etc, unpaid utilities,  unpaid taxes, a second loan, unpaid HOA fees, a bad pool, bad reputation, sometimes squatters, sometimes they were drug houses, and so on.

You will pay for the higher risk with higher rates and origination fees but if the deal makes sense then congrats.

.- You will have to come out of pocket for the arears, fees etc, just to get into "contract" some times $20k or more and all you have as protection is the word of someone who's proven to be unreliable and a signed piece of paper... 

I am in PA and yes, it is legal to charge late fees to your tenant regardless of Section 8 subsidies or not, provided the tenant's lease allows for them.

Also, keep in mind that an IN multi member LLC would require a separate tax return, so you would want to budget for extra admin fees.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

Mortgage rates at 7% 2. 25% down3. 10% of current rents budgeted for capex, monthly repairs and maintenance and property management fees. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Below are some actionable steps I plan to take after identifying a market:- find a rock star agent by referral and/or calling brokerages and asking to connect with their top producing agents- find a rock star contractor by referral and/or yelp- have control over construction by setting per diems to incentivize contractor to finish the project on time, within budget, and with good quality- leverage my rock star agent's time to check up on the construction process (checks and balances)- hire independent handymen/inspectors to check up on the construction process for a flat fee (checks and balances) There's competition everywhere, you won't escape that in any market.
