Has experienced good appreciation over the past few years. 

I am having my first sit down with someone who is experienced in real estate financing and hoping to make my first purchase within a year.

My advice would be to only go the auction route if you're a experienced investor.

Hi BP looking to see if anyone has experienced this before…Been working a deal out with my agent (well known on this forum and has great reviews) and trying to close on my first out of state rental property.  

Yes, we collaborated with experienced agents and knowledgeable lenders who specialize in investment properties.

The AppFolio integration works great, but everything else is hit or miss, which is incredibly stressful when you’re trying to stay on top of your property finances.I’m curious if anyone else has experienced similar sync problems or if there are any recommendations for alternative platforms that might work better.

(Mass Govt should be giving experienced landlords (5 years operating with at least one unit at profit as a buy and hold) zero down loans to house these people (in areas they currently live in--so they can stay close to friends and family), and free money to fix up the Brockton type area homes to modern standards inside. 

It's way too risky for the lender not to have an experienced hand at the wheel.
