Properties with fewer than five units are classified as residential, making the loans ineligible for sale on the secondary market through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

I have found my market and have created my team thus far. 

Listen to podcasts, read books, and if you plan to invest in the Netherlands find some resources that speak to that market specifically.

You need income to qualify for loans, you can learn how to manage rentals well (something most landlords never do), you will figure out which communities/properties make the best investments, can earn an above-average paycheck, and may even find some investment properties before they hit the market.

It’s been on the market for 120 days.

I haven't bought a deal or anything I'm still saving up, I'm at 25k I'll hopefully be ready to buy in the next three years, otherwise the city I'm buying in is Barrie which is generally a great appreciation market, I've got two brothers Chris owns two rental properties and Ryan just bought his first partnering up with my brother chrises second deal, so I might partner up for my first deal I don't know yet tho depends on what my brothers want to do.when shopping properties I do remember from the book you shouldn't buy properties based off cap rates but im wondering at the beginning do you first skim this information say the property is listed at a 6% cap rates which is common in the Barrie market would I then would go walk the property and see if things are viably ok, once I believe it's resdy for a professional inspection I'll get information about deferred maintenances mainly capex based off what I need to repier I'll be walking the property with the professional and I guess he'll give me a rough cost of How much everything that is needed and when I need to get the work done due dates, also I don't know how to calculate how much I should set aside in monthly terms after I get the required information from the inspector I'll be doing this for the first time, if the pure cash flow is incheck  I believe usually NOI is usually around 60% including appreciation and mortgage income andone going deferred maintenances around 35-40%, now I'm ready to make an offer?

We will be the only or one of a few that we can see with this type of amenity in our market for a vacation rental.

Im working on getting another appraiser over there in hopes i can get mid to high 6's Maybe try a BPO - this will be cheaper but not as detailed and should give you a general idea of the market - its much more expensive and time consuming to get an appraiser if your going to do multiple of them.  

This taught me to ask more specific questions.

I have large volume Off-Market SFR & Multi-Family Deals (50+ Properties/month)  in Atlanta Metro.
