My househack I structured a bit differently on the lending side to make it work better for me, so if you have questions on how that might look happy to help.

I would not suggest a license for the investor side , unless you are helping buyers and sellers.

But I’ve seen enough people wrestle their way through this to know that once you’re on the other side, it’s like taking a deep breath after holding it underwater for too long.- Dennis & Jasper

@Jerry Cox Hey, I’ve done several transactions with Opendoor on both sides.

Property appreciation outlook not too exciting (could change), the other side of the river is a different story. 

Not seeing any real gentrification because of that, IMO.On the positive side, we do finally have a new Mayor that is actually from the City, but so far he seems to be playing the same games as his predecessors.

As someone who has read Harry Potter, it seems the best way to get the attention of the landlord is to send a scary looking giant to their home residence with a kindly worded letter.More seriously, I was on the other side of the coin previously where my wife put the ads up under her accounts instead of mine, so I couldn't check them without getting on her phone and I was inundated with people looking to see the property (probably 50 over a 5 day period) and was trying to send semi-personalized notes to each one--and it all ended up being too much to handle and I ended up ghosting or not replying to many people after I found an applicant. 

Finding some middle ground that is beneficial for both sides is so important and can make or break a deal. 

A safe baseline is 5%–10% for vacancy, with C class properties often leaning toward the higher end due to more transient tenant populations.As for maintenance, the percentages they’re quoting—2% for B class and 7.5% for C class—are on the optimistic side, especially for long-term projections.
