@Evan Thomas AndriolaDepends on the proeprty/tenant Class.Class A: we usually recommend newer/nice appliancesClass B: we recommend used appliances because tenants don't take the best care of them.Class C/D: we do NOT recommend appliances because tenants don't clean, leading to so much caked on food/grease it's realistically not cleanable.

I have never built a home before and I do not have 'construction' experience aside from renovating my own spaces (so i do have experience- just no formal experience). 

There’s also a good mix of duplexes, triplexes, and quads, so you’ve got options for a solid house hack.House hacking is actually how I got into real estate—I’ve done two house hacks with duplexes here in Chattanooga, and it’s been a game changer.

Me and the wife are having a little girl so my plan is to wholesale for the next year to better leverage my time and really develop that one skill in my skill set.

November to March tends to be the slowest leasing period so you are likely fighting that battle, but if you aren't at least beginning to receive more inquiries or having showings without tenants at minimum interested in a mid March/April move-in there are two potential issues: the home is over priced compared to competition or the property is inferior in condition.

., so I would be interested to a) hear other BP members' lender recommendations for this sized property and also b) other members' experiences working with Fannie, Freddie, etc.  

So if you have a policy that says you wont rent to applicants with prior evictions then you hold to that. 

A lot of BP Pro Members are landlords so they need a software to manage those properties, so the RentRedi Perk saves members around $360 in software costs. 

My biggest mistakes that have cost me dearly have all been contractor related, so my advice would be to vet your contractors as much as possible. 

Do you recommend switching at around 30 properties or so?
