Higher DemandThe rental market is shifting.

Here are some of the more longstanding discussions that may help to answer your questions.Specifically at Rent To Retirement, we operate a turnkey marketplace that focuses about 90% on A class, new construction properties located in growth markets.

The stock market is up something like 80% of the days long term.

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

If you like where you live, I would explore investing in a cheaper out-of-state market. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

Years ago I bought houses for $25k in my market.

The price we thought was very reasonable in this current market based off the other properties we have seen prior to that with similar layouts. 

Are you looking for guide and advise of an expert on the market or a pass through agen?
