@Stefano Vrolijk it all depends on your credit history, whether you have an SSN/ ITIN and how much you can put down.

Even with my former partner (who was our 'PM / GC' on site for our projects), it was sometimes tough navigating the process, managing budgets and costs, and keeping everyone in line, including him. 

Now on raising $ side of things, I suggest first you do some research on syndications.

I own one half, 3 bed 3 bath, and I’m currently living in and renovating it with plans to rent down the line.

Definitely open an LLC if you haven’t done so already and once you have a couple under your belt, you will have lenders lining up for your business.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Often pretty quickly....see something online at 1pm and I'm meeting you there at 2pm to see if we can lock it up before someone else did. 

If this is about a fence a foot over the property line, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze..

Once that's covered, you can go all-in on those fabulous renovations.Effective marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting tenants and increasing property appeal.

First congratulations on taking your real estate education seriously and putting yourself out there by posting on the BP forums.
