Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Most lenders in this market are less likely to issue a loan that you will default on.

With average rents in Charlotte hovering around $1,800 to $2,000, that means an average agent fee of just $190—if the management company even pays the showing fee.I understand that this may vary by market, but in mine, I don’t see agents being incentivized to work with renters.

Partner with people in your market.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Hey Jaycee, we currently lend on several loan types: Fix & Flip up to 90% LTP, BRRRR, New Construction, Bridge Loans, & Multi-Family.For myself personally, I'm looking in the Orlando, Philadelphia, and Southern NJ markets, 1-4 units.

We hit the first shift of becoming a favorable buyers market.

Unfortunately there competitiveness in the market and cut throat antics give the other offices (company) a bad name. 

Explicitly tell them what you're paying for it so you can get the exact number.Also, we do a 25% property tax relief in SC under the ATI bill - so if you fill out that form, you will get a reduction for 5 years.Info below:ATI Real Property Tax ExemptionSouth Carolina law now allows a partial exemption from taxation of up to 25% of an “ATI fair market value” that is the result of anAssessable Transfer of Interest.

It is not that good at the price point of DC or in my market (but better than my market).  

My first duplex was a turnkey, off market property.
