Many of my deals were priced properly, but often the seller or market can't for various reasons see the potential in the property. 

Business credit doesn’t affect your personal credit score dramatically, and you’ll have significantly more capital to work with.3.Use Portfolio Lenders: Portfolio lenders often require just a 20% down payment and will provide the remaining 80% for your property investment.

@Kim LeduffIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Often low down payment/no PMI programs have those costs built in elsewhere in the loan. 

Also, often times leasing is about who can respond to inquiries the quickest and offer the most convenience.

One, which is often for the more aggressive in cash-flow, presses sub $200k and $2k+ rents. best deal-done in this regard of recent was right at the $200k mark and $3,250 gross mnthly rents. 

I would try to negotiate something like paying them $1500 and then negotiating an amount to go back and do the punch-list items which might be another $1000.Yes, in my example you are paying a little MORE than you anticipated, BUT scopes of work are often not detailed enough to be 100% clear to all sides.

I travel to the RRG often for outdoor activities I enjoy.

@Celine Li Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

While this approach often delivers the highest returns, it does require a significant investment of time and effort.If your time is limited, consider turnkey providers.
