Someone can be naive about it and believe the narrative pushed by crooked legislators, I just say the drive itself is fueled and driver by those in the know, and those "in the know" are the ones that are least of all concerned about some poor guy forced to sell his property for less than 70% of its market value.

It's all fun and games until a reckless driver jumps the curb...Since your investment goals are $300 monthly cash flow and 30% equity, you’ll need to make sure the numbers work for both properties under these new financing terms.

Ensure you work that into your expenses when underwriting.Answering your questions:Experience - Location is really your main driver here.

You don’t need an SSN to get a driver’s license, register for school, get private health insurance, or apply for school lunch programs or subsidized housing."

Gonna be tough, I heard all the agents in Columbus are becoming Uber drivers.

Denton has suggested shortage of 4000 units right now.Some of these markets like Arlington, Denton and Edinburg have other demand drivers as a backup plan in case students shift to online or move away from going to college.

The starting point is knowing what emotional drivers (desires, fears, hopes) lead people to spend money on a unit such as yours.

I'd also target markets with good population growth & economic drivers that are helping the market progress. 

Think uber/lyft driver contractor structure.But the call center staff who handle the important stuff like leasing, arranging repairs, etc. work overseas and likely do not have intimate knowledge of your rental area.That said, I’m not bashing this model.

People are still moving here and there are jobs when they get here so those drivers appear to be strong.
