@Alec Barnes As the owner of a property management company in Texas, I completely agree that a solid screening process is essential for placing quality tenants.

Every investor has their own path, and hearing different perspectives will only enrich your journey.Challenges in Real Estate Investing:Finding deals: In competitive markets, it can be tough to find good deals that make sense financially.Capital and financing: Finding funding, especially as a new investor, can sometimes be challenging.Dealing with tenants: Managing rental properties and dealing with tenants can be tricky, especially with issues like late rent or property damage.Market risk: Real estate markets fluctuate, and external factors (like economic shifts or local development projects) can impact property values.I’d be happy to continue the conversation if you want to dive deeper into any of these topics!

Given how the housing authority does their rent price determination on individual units, and government ran programs are never beacons of efficient processes, it can go either way.Note, the examples I speak of only relate to C-Class and below areas.

This process is relatively simple and can be completed through a title company or real estate attorney.

And before getting too far along in the process it might be worth doing a title search to check on any potential liens on the property.

When it comes to getting approved for a loan, the process can be a bit more complicated for foreign citizens.

Once you have a deal they will guide you through the process and even help you attain the funding with out coming out of pocket or using your personal credit.

I have a 3-step process I put them through before we actually agree to work together. 

That time I was looking at getting 201 S Washington (a 5 unit rental) and S Washington wasn't designated as STR and Gettysburg City said that I had to go thru the process of applying for zoning licence which is followed by a hearing with the neighbors as the jury who would hand me the verdict - yes/no.I like analyzing markets and observing them for a number of months/years.

If they are not paying rent then go through the eviction process as normal.
