Good tenants can significantly reduce vacancy rates, turnover costs, and maintenance expenses.Many property managers I know are quick to fill vacancies, often asking, "Do they meet the minimum requirements?"

Chase also has good CCs at 0% interest also, but you’ll need to meet their 5/24 rule for approvals.

Definitely hit up the CRREIA meetings bro.

A great way to get started is to go to local real estate investor meetups and meet other investors.

I’ve had several investor clients go with a new (to me)/ unproven lender because of a slightly lower rate promise only to get burned by that lender (closing costs were higher, appraisal costs much higher and appraisal was a nightmare, main point of contact gave us the clear to close as we passed our financing contingency then just before closing someone from the underwriting department we previously didn’t know existed said we need a few more days and seller didn’t agree because they had a higher backup offer, jeopardizing the earnest money and losing the property, etc).

Great to meet with you here. 

Meet with the one owner and show him how we are doing on thinning and trimming his trees.  

You picked a good week to meet other investors: the RPA is hosting their annual RPA-CON Friday and Saturday in Milwaukee.

I really appreciate the advice on attending a local investor group meet up.

You can take a deep look at the deals and get an idea of the kind of variety you'll see and come up with your own due diligence method (that meets your unique situation).
