The home buying process typically follows these key steps:Assess Your Finances: Review your credit score, savings, and determine how much you can afford for a down payment and monthly mortgage payments.Get Pre-Approved for a Loan: Work with a lender to get pre-approved, which gives you a clear budget and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer.Find a Real Estate Agent: Partner with an experienced agent who knows the local market and can guide you through the process.Search for Homes: Browse listings and visit properties that fit your criteria (location, size, price, etc.).Make an Offer: When you find a home you like, submit an offer through your agent, including contingencies (financing, inspections, etc.).Home Inspection & Appraisal: Once the offer is accepted, hire an inspector to ensure the home’s condition and the lender will order an appraisal to verify the property’s value.Secure Financing: Finalize your mortgage by submitting required documents and ensuring the lender clears you for closing.Closing: Sign the final paperwork, pay closing costs, and receive the keys to your new home!

One size does not fit all. 

For a company our size, we were told more like 1-2 months of due diligence and 1 month of staying on, but we have nothing to truly compare that to in the "real world".  

I just sent them a larger list with a bigger size to test again and if it returns as bad as the first time, I'd be looking for a new company.

I think the top factors are type of home (comparing single family to apartment is no longer done), overall size, and interior features like central AC, approximate age of renovation, etc.

To add to what @Jonathan Greene wrote:1) Understanding the local market, so you know what Neighborhood Class your building is located in, what Class your Building is (condition & amenities), and what corresponding class of tenants will be attracted.2) Using all this data to properly set your expectations and a realistic ROI.3) How to better screen prospective tenants, including catching fraud, so your property performs better.

For starters it can be more difficult to find comps as there are often less multi fam trading than SFR of the same size and count.

Depending on the size of the discount when the note was purchased, this often resulted in a 5- - 100% increase in ROI. 

I’m open to networking and look forward to making new connections here.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.
