the  I have seen a lot of properties come and go.  

Quote from @Christian Mejia: We recently purchased our first investment property in Florida with the assistance of Rent to Retirement and I just wanted to say it was a smooth process.

The past 2 1/2 years I’ve flipped some properties and have wholesaled some.

Getting into almost any property in Charlottesville for under $200,000 is quite the feat.

If they over-promise and under-deliver, transfer the next property to a different PM.

- Property Managers that you would highly recommend? 

Also, while it won't cashflow right away, rental rates will continue to rise and in 3-4 years it will very likely be a cash-flowing property (it's in a prime location with tons of upside and development going on around it). 

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

Just to name a few: Borrower's Experience FICO Loan Amount Loan Type being sought: Perm (30 yr ams), Bridge (12-36mo I/O), Rehab (12-36mo I/O), Ground Up (12-60mo I/O) Property Type (1-4 unit, 5+ MF, Warehouse/industrial, Hospitality etc)If you have a specific deal in mind, then you can have a lender (or broker) look at it and give you a better idea.

On the flip side, I am in the process of acquiring over $1.5M in defaulted DSCR loans form borrowers who are your age that put 25% down but had no money to fix any of the problems  = lost the renters and walked from the property.
