No large industries because if they close, you get Detroit and lots of vacancy.   

So most likely I will pay cash or close to it for her new 55+ community home and our budget is 450k max.

Also, as many have said- it's smart to start off close to home if possible.

But, more commonly, they bring in the capital, maybe do a site visit before closing, and ultimately just forward an investor email to the main operator, then forward the response to the investor.  

When it comes to hooking up my follow-up system I've seen a lot of other CRMs fall short with drips (lack of good time delays, no custom mailing function, doesn't pause with a response, can send auto messages after a deal closes, etc) 

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

In this case, your monthly payment with 20% down will have a good MARKET rate if your DTI works with a much lower month payment and no mortgage insurance(MI).

I was going to put down 5% (about $40,000) at closing.

We have an event this Saturday Feb 12, 2022, you can check out the Bigger Pockets page for it here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/...The group's page on Meetup.com is at:https://www.meetup.com/real-es...There is a $5.00 contribution which you can do in cash at the meeting as well, it doesn't come close to covering the cost of the space but I may be able to get another space shortly.
