No off-street parking = not worth doing MTR unless it meets all of the following: super urban area where no parking is the norm, highly desirable area with a ton of MTR demand, super safe part of the city, and has great public transportation (think NYC, Hoboken NJ, etc.)Unless it meets all of the criteria above, I pass on those opportunities because my MTR will be eliminating the many people that travel with their vehicles.

Tip #1 - no such thing as one perfect market There is lots of data on Bigger Pockets and MTR experts that have released rankings of top cities for next year, but remember it's not just about the purchase-- it's also about the operation.

That might be the biggest hurdle - but otherwise, I'd check out "DSCR Loans" which are the perfect option for people like you looking to buy rental properties w/o W2 or DTIWe don't own any other properties other than the investment property we just purchased.

As an appraiser I’ve appraised a handful of properties recently that are outside of city limits and operating successfully as STR’s that don’t have the same regulations as the city of St Pete.

Him seeming hopeless also makes me feel hopeless too.Baltimore is a tough city, especially for out of state investors.

There are a couple of things that I would think about here, the timeframe you want to work with this agent (can be 1 month or 2 months or a longer time), whether you could do it for a specific area/city/town, or you could do it for a couple of properties you see.

Stick to these tools, and you should be significantly happier with your next renters  Thank you, I did screen all aspects and everything looked good in the beginning but the biggest problems seems to be the renter big off more than they can chew.

The biggest tip I can recommend is patience.
