Customer reviews are always helpful, but this is another tool in your belt for vetting companies.

So I called the number on the VRM website, and their customer service agent basically couldn't tell me anything, except to go to the listing page (on the VRM website), and click for financing.  

I live in the Rabbu site - I like the customization aspect, with most sites it provides enough information to make accurate assessments, you can also pretty clearly see the difference between a well run STR and a MEH run STR.

Except their customer service is only through email.

And if it's one of those what is your ideal number.

Starting out without cash flow isn't ideal, but it's not the end of the world if you have a plan.

I showed them and provided my emails from customer support as proof that posts cannot be deleted, and that I updated a reply to my post, nothing came out of that.

My question for LTR investors - what would be an ideal loan for you assuming its for a longer term hold..Please dont tell me 3% no fees, 100% LTV, close in an hour, no prepay etc etc  LOL ...  

If it is your first, you don't need software just yet-- already there will be such a learning curve from how to manage your place and talking to customers.

when underwriting a property a good rule of thumb would be to set aside ~5% gross income for each Cap Ex, maintenance, and vacancy. (15% total)I dont know much of the market in TX but in central MA i work with a lot of investors that are interested in acquiring multi family properties so that's mostly what i deal in.
