You're not wrong but there's a consistency of look and this is a higher-end rental (although I'm mindful that everything has a range).

Sellers aren’t going to consistently take 10% less for cash.

Chapter Seven of the VA Lender’s Handbook clearly states:“If a property is to be owned by two or more eligible Veterans, it may consist of four family units and one business unit, plus one additional unit for each Veteran participating in the ownership”.

The property was falling apart  while they lived there, and it was difficult for me to get them out of there, as I was consistently getting the rent, albeit late most months and the property was falling further and further into disrepair.

In the meantime consider just storing your cash in a vehicle that offers a stable/consistent ROR.

Kudos to you, because I am sure that took a lot of consistency and determination.To answer your question about rental rates, 1) You should do some market research to see what comparable properties are renting for in your specific neighborhood or close by.

In addition, if you bought any of these below market, you might capture some equity upon purchase.My wife and I do a mix of syndicating and limited partner investing in apartments and have had great returns. 

But w/ SEO it's a bit different... because w/ PPC or direct mail you can get a result faster... w/ SEO it may take 6-12 months to get consistent leads from SEO... but once you get the high ranking you'll have leads coming in really consistently at an extremely low cost per lead and cost per deal. 

Stronger economies generally support higher rental demand and property appreciation.Neighborhood Analysis:Safety and Crime Rates: Avoid neighborhoods with high crime rates, as these can affect property values and rental income.Property Demand: Look for areas with growing populations or proximity to employment centers to ensure consistent rental demand.Property Condition: For fix and flips or BRRR, assess the condition of properties carefully.

I hope to repay whoever can guide me with my consistency, my loyalty, and everyone’s favorite… money!!
