This has resulted in a large sized network of brokers, institutions, lenders, etc.

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

Working with a good loan officer or mortgage broker can help you to get your file set up in a way that presents you in the best light to underwriters.

I have three vacancies in a C class neighborhood and the only people I’ll rent to now are Section 8 with a small tenant portion.  

It helps create an aspirational experience and can make the home stand out in a competitive market.

Ultimately, clear communication and expectations handled in a respectful manner can avert any issue.

It's a small place so I'd guess it won't rent for enough to cover your expenses anyway so I'd probably sell, especially if the loss is small, it unless it's in a great neighborhood that you think will do well over time. 

Now this property is in a class C neighborhood with a calculated 11% cap rate estimated.

Our end goal is to be in a position where we can be very selective and choose the clients and properties we work with so that doesn't happen.

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.
