I plan to start searching for properties when I have 50k, but likely will have more reserved by the time I close on my first property.

The big box stores all have a commercial division that similar to Home Depot's ProDesk.

I do have some reserves and can also offer some boots on the ground type work.

This presumes you make smart purchases that cash flow after paying all their expenses (Principle, interest, Taxes, Insurance, and a maintenance / Capex reserves).The risk of leverage is if your properties AREN'T making money - maybe you misjudged your income, or you run into repairs that cost more than you expected or budgeted for.  

For example, if you check Airbnb's (the company) online reviews whether BBB or the app store, you'll see it's low and that's because a bunch of guests who don't get refunds or hosts who are mad are leaving reviews.Maybe a better question: how to vet a title company?

I've only been asked once if I could remove them so the prospective tenant wouldn't have to store them.  

A lot of DSCR lenders are technically POF lenders as they only qualify on 4 things: 1) valid driver's license 2) FICO score 3) rent is more than the PITI of the proposed property and 4) proof of funds for the down payment and closing costs and reserves.

Here’s a rule of thumb for allocating your cash reserves:1.

This is why it is important to enlist the services of an attorney sooner rather than later and have a reserve fund to cover all expenses until you are able to take possession of the property.

Well if they have some money to invest I offer DFY Ecommerce business, online stores at national retailers Like this one.
