I have a neighbor with an odd sized little piece of property that would work for me to build a shop for woodworking and general storage.

The restrictions you'll face with this is mainly due to zoning laws in your particular area, unless the zoning allows for more units or FAR (floor area ratio). 

I contacted them and got an email form them referring me to a 3rd company that could help me get started on investing in notes and provides education, seemed odd...

I currently manage mostly short term rentals with a few midterms sprinkled into areas that have STR restrictions.

But that fact that every agent I know always starts at 6% seems a bit odd, and for the brief period I was a licensed agent, the fact that my brokerage based their commission splits and amounts due on the 6% commission (even if I negotiated a lower split with my clients) pretty much proves the case and the reason it was settled is because the NAR knows there was countless evidence to show a broad collusion.But, I think it is about time that buyers pay for their own representatives.  

Let them know that next year there will be another increase, and they will have to take over utilities.The odds are pretty good that they can't afford the increase, or they won't want to.

I'm not one to plug my business and there is enough good, bad and ugly online for all to see.You will find many "real world" reviews on both Ohio Cashflow and Oz Realty via a Google search.Not perfect by any means and we make mistakes.Honest mistakes that we do our best to rectify.Standing the test of time in a real estate niche called turnkey that has been scared by many shady operators speaks for itself IMO.I will say this, investors buying sub $100,000 properties and only owning 1 or 2 and expecting miracles are usually unsatisfied.Sub $100,000 requires volume to work and for a decent long term return to be realized.Our price points are $70,000 - $100,000 and rent's are from $750 - $1,100pm2bed, 1bath and 3 bed, 1 bath is our bread and butter.Sometimes 4 bed, 1 bath and rarely 4 bed, 2 bath or 3 bed, 2 bath.The odd duplex from time to time and the odd 4 unit or 6 unit but those are rare.B class areas mostly.Sometimes B- and C class on occasion which we will stress clearly in any deal pro-forma along with the pro's and con's.Also, those that get their panties in a tangle and decide to leave the wing of Ohio Cashflow, we can't help much anymore as it get's messy and muddy so we have to politely bow out from any continued engagement. 

Hi Amanda, DSCR loans are becoming a popular financing option for investors since there are no restrictions on the number of loans you can have, and you can qualify based on the rents covering the full mortgage payment, no personal DTI needed. 

Nowadays, there are a bunch of lenders that claim to be NonQM lenders but so many restrictions.

When you reach out to the city, you should inquire about the specific permits needed for renovating a burned home, any special requirements or restrictions, and any inspections that may need to be done during the renovation process.
