@Irene Morgovsky what you are experiencing is that rents do NOT increase linearly with property values.Or look at it another way, the pool of renters that can afford higher & higher rents, shrinks faster than a corresponding pool of buyers.You could look into making it a short-term rental to try to improve rental income, but:1) Is it allowed in that area2) STR rates are coming downYou may have to accept "negative income" or sell.

Those are the biggest things that will protect while you are getting started on this project @Kerlous Tadres Thank you, I will make sure to do thorough investigations on my contractors before accepting any qutoes.  

I also accept housing vouchers, so I like affordablehousing.com.

However, you have no idea how long you'll have to wait.Do you accept Sec8 vouchers?

I graduate from the University of Utah in the spring with a mechanical engineering degree.

After graduating college with a degree in both marketing and finance I transitioned to the lending side of the real estate industry.

It does not need to give all the sensitive information, but it does need to state clearly that the underwriter has reviewed your financial information (income, credit ratio, FICO scores and the such) and has fully approved you for a loan, subject to an acceptable purchase contract and appraisal, as well as have their contact information on the letter. 

You might consider listing on both and just not accepting auto-books to maximize potential.

After a series of phone calls and emails, Veterans in Parking subsequently offered me a seat on their board of directors; which I accepted. 

, we rarely need to evict, and one of the reasons for that (other than a consistent 21-point tenant screening process) is that once the tenant recognizes that you are serious and have a consistent process in place they respond in one way or another.One more thing - I suggest you don't accept partial payments, as this can delay the process as well.Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions or if I can assist in any way!
