I would highly recommend sticking to the 30 year option or not doing it at all. 

@Ethan Slater here's some info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

High risk areas.  3.

The quality of the reports you receive also varies.

If you are new to the business the most common issue is you're either locking up deals too high or you aren't finding attractive deals.

I don't have much experience with other platforms but I can assure you RentRedi sets the bar pretty high. 

I would highly recommend talking to Jeff Weller at Coast 2 Coast and Fernando Corona both are also PadSplit hosts but we're some of the first expert lenders .

You may not get the same tourist volume as Pigeon Forge, but you’ll attract a more consistent, quality guest base.If you're leaning toward an MTR, healthcare contracts and university housing demand will give you a steady stream of tenants.

The last thing you want is to have a home run deal that theoretically should be a high-profit flip but is ruined because your contractor screws you over in some form or fashion (late deadlines, inaccurate scope of work, etc.). 

There was a news reporter at the sale and they interviewed the high bidder, who admitted that they had not seen the property, but were certain that they would be building their family home there.
