The impact on real estate is twofold: increased demand for housing in both the rental and purchase markets, and a shift in housing preferences towards urban, tech-friendly developments with smart home features and high-speed internet connectivity.Relative AffordabilityWhile many markets are pricing out investors, San Antonio is maintaining its reputation for affordability.

For example, drop the price to $1,500 but require a credit score of 700+ and a double deposit.

Often the best ones are the smaller community banks in your area, not the large coporate banks however they'll have options as well but its normally relationship based where you'll come in to the bank to meet them and they'll be looking over your financials, credit, investment experience, etc. however once you're in with one of them, it becomes much much easier to borrow with them in the future...

Luckily I had lines of credit and private lenders I could tap into.

Sorry if I replied but internet when down when I hit post....I don't see my reply. 

GET OFF the internet, I recently purchased a 7 UNIT in EAST Cleveland, what does the internet say about that area? 

Internet and cell service can be spotty in our mountains and more rural areas, so always good to check on that early on in the acquisition process.

The site also allows tenants to pay with ACH for free or for a fee, the tenant can pay with a credit card. 

Some of the projects were with a local partner as well and then the managing chores were split between us.The lending perspective was stiff in the beginning, as I didn't have any experience at all, also no credit score, and that project was only by myself, so the leverage was low, but I could work on a low-price property to start.Fast forward 5 years, I have built a credit score with 2 credit cards under my ITIN of more than 650, and done 4 properties as experience.
