@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Then create content around this specialty.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

If a closet is a necessity for it to be a bedroom , then I own 2 houses with no bedrooms .  

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate). 

I'd suggest finding a third property - then you should be good to go with at least a handful of DSCR lenders

There are also a lot of different options in real estate to single family residential, multifamily, commercial, NNN and then being on the debt side of being the lender which has cash flow but not appreciation. 

When an investor gets over 4-5 in a market then we normally talk about diversifying into a different market. 

And then monthly by check or if you don’t trust them certified funds or EFT. 

@David OvercashRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Why is Property Class so important for investors to understand and apply in their investing strategies?
