What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

(Purchase price somewhere in the $600k range)The property should bring in around $45-$55k/yr running as an STR and there's already a manager at the building if you want to be completely hands off.Add me and send me a DM if you're interested in submitting an offer on something like this.

We strong suggest to always get a Real Estate Attorney to review all documentation and prepare the seller docs (do this always - even if you have a Realtor).Most BP members are experienced enough to feel comfortable doing this themselves ... after you do 2 or 3, it will become routine.You are saving thousands of dollars so you will need to do a bit of work yourself, but it is worth it.Never pay full commissions any more ... if you decide to get a full service Realtor to list your house, that is fine (the Entry Only concept is not for everyone, we understand), but always negotiate a flat fee. % commissions are not valid any longer ... what additional work does a Realtor selling a $600,000 has to do than to sell a $400,000 that is worth $6,000 more in commission?

If you decide to use the property as a second home, 90% financing is available on a full documentation loan. 

There's a contract in place and that decides who gets paid what- you don't have to like it or think it's fair, but it's a binding document. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I was also thinking about a real estate course but as per my understanding, I wouldn't be able to be licensed because I'm still not living there, so my plan is to wait a bit more to enroll in a course to make sure I'll have all my documents ready first (apparently after the completion of the course, I will have no more then 6 months to do the exam to get licensed).Sorry for the long post (and maybe some grammar mistake) and thanks in advance to everyone :)Chiara Hi Chiara,Her course does teach you her way of analyzing properties and local trends by zipcode, but what I discovered after meeting local investors is that everyone has their own way of analyzing properties and their own interests in the different neighborhoods.
