My current focus is on securing my first deal under contract using PropStream & Off-Market strategies I am eager to connect with experienced investors who can provide insights or advice to help me navigate the early stages of my real estate journey.

We're considering using an FHA loan, but due to his credit score, we haven't started the preapproval process yet.What steps would you recommend we take to secure funding for our first investment?

Changing the locks and adding security to the home, to ensure he does not vandalize or damage the property.

When we bought we were able to secure a 3.5% rate, put 20% down, $30k in renovations.

I copied this from the Chicago RTLO which is attached to the CAR lease:-Before a landlord can deduct expenses for damages from the security deposit, the landlord must provide the tenant with an itemized statement of the damages within 30 days of the date the tenant vacates the dwelling unit.

We got a $50,000 deficiency against the borrower and secured it to their primary residence in 2nd position which had around $150k equity.

Hi @Sanya WuNot sure if there is a way to verify payment history but I would also ask about the security deposit and make sure that gets transferred to you during closing!

.- Strong Rental Market: The city has a robust rental market due to a diverse population, including students, young professionals, and families.

Since I haven't secured accommodation yet, I'm seeking another female attendee to share a room with.

Rates, on average, are currently in the 6’s, so refinancing your DSCR loan might be a great option for securing a lower rate.
