With a long-term tenant in place for over three years, the property generates maximum rental returns in an area where townhouses are rare and highly sought after.

My advice for beginners is to start with turnkey rental properties that generate steady cash flow.

Most of my customers who own their own land typically use Fannie Mae since it offers a ower Dp for 2-4 units and the guide lines are more lienant. 

Living in one unit while renovating the other lets you build equity and generate rental income, plus the BRRRR strategy could help you recycle your capital for future deals. 

No, they have a deep understanding of their customers and place stores where the customers want to shop to maximize sales and profits.

Most B areas in Columbus will not generate positive cash flow unless you buy the property outright with cash or make a substantial down payment.

I did a great program a couple years back from Brian Buffini which was all about organic referral lead generation and it tripled my business.

My customer went to them 1 month ago with property criteria and was told they could do the loan no problem; only to be told days before closing the property does not qualify.

I added value to the deal by completing quick cosmetic repairs, allowing the property to be rented immediately and generate cash flow while preparing for ADU construction.

STR has a lot more risk given the seasonality swings and I cannot understate the time involved in bookings and customer service.Having said that we DO have STRs here in St Augustine, Florida in prime areas in the $400s.
