DM us if you'd like some 1-on-1 assistance.Hi, Drew, actually I asked about the Sentinel Fund, for a friend and came on BP to ask professional if its legit or not, and now I put this post to go "fishing" for the right team to build, I do thank you for your concern for not being taken advantage of, but thats what this platform is for, to find, hopefully, a real estate agent, property manager etc. when I say fishing- someone that will take the TIME to ASK the right questions and actually has the experience to prove what they can do, have done and will do for you!

I have a friend who is very happy with Anderson so I'll be contacting them as well, although apparently they are more expensive.

If your property is up to par you won't really have many maintenance calls except minor stuff such as plumbing clogs which is more likely to happen and requests to turn the AC up or down which you can do on your phone but other than that pretty hands off.Vacancy depends on location and your Padsplit property score the more comfortable you make your property (mini fridges, tv's, outdoor area) the lower your vacancy rate but you can expect about 10% vacancy factor in a Padsplit friendly area (centrally located, easy access to public transportation).

Low property taxes, landlord friendly and with tech and manufacturing jobs moving from the Bay Area there is strong job growth.

Like Brandon mentioned - you sound like the picture perfect classic "DSCR Loan" borrower - dscr loans are made for exactly this typically - LLC friendly and usually the best fit for when investors hit the 5 or so property mark and hit a roadblock with banks, cash etc like you desribed.Check out this 12-part article series published here on BP on all about DSCR Loans, hope it helps!

If family lives in the main home and friends stay for free in the garage, the property remains a primary residence, but there’s no rental income or tax benefits.

Diversify into cash-flow-friendly markets like Indianapolis, Birmingham, and Florida.

@David Hudgik - I am an investor friendly agent in the area.

I always suggest starting with friends and family and even ask them if they know anyone who might be interested.
