Seek out lenders that specialize in that area and get qualified with the lender you resonate with.

I think you would resonate with episode 101.  

MOST agents get a false sense of success in the beginning when they close their first couple of deals only to flounder for a year or two after and eventually give up when they realize that it's going to be much harder to actually create a sustaining and growing business.Like any startup, there will be really high high's and really low low's.

My concern is that it feels unreasonable, almost like a "bait and switch", But I don't want to sustain a rental loss either.Since I can easily find new tenants, and will have little vacant time, is raising it and letting them move if necessary a better tactic than doing a partial increase as consideration fir them as good tenants?

@Jerry W.I quite resonate with you.

What are the obligations of a California SFH family of owners who rent the attic (which is one big finished bedroom with private bath) out to a single man who went missing the 2nd of the current month we now find out he was pulled out of his rental car and extradited from California to New York on a warrant out for his arrest for a DUI accident that happened 2 years ago.Details of the accident not that have a keen interest but for what its worth will share his story: victim, a retired man, who sustained a brain injury 2 yrs ago from that incident, has apparently taken the turn for the worst and decided to press new charges for new medical costs and decline in mobility/quality of life, stress, anxiety etc for the accident 2 yrs ago which insurance paid out but victim wants the settlement amount (175k) a second time over? 

If you find something that resonates with you read what you can until you get some familiarity with that aspect and start looking for your first project.

Having a 10-12 years investment plan to build up a portfolio to sustain my retirement I consider Dubai RE market too volatile and I don't feel safe for my strategy, unless a future drop of prices will make me change my mind.On the other side, the town I live in Italy, north of Rome, is still economically very weak, still overpriced and not offering interesting ROI.So, the idea is to look for opportunities in Europe (my niche is students rental), searching for areas with a good growth potential and ROI.

We are both passionate about sustainability in real estate and with our consumer goods.

That is not sustainable.
