You can ask for recent pay stubs, employment history, rental history, and talk to their employer and landlord.

As an example, let's say the person is about to go to foreclosure because they got behind in their payments due to a job loss for 4 months, but have now found employment, but can't get the back payments caught up.  

. :)But get a second opinion anyways, overlays mean that not everyone calculates self employment income identically. 

By this I mean finding an investor who is willing to employ you and give you a portion of the profit.

There a great many benefits when investing near the university- its the largest employer in Cincinnati, student population growing 6%/yr, I've had 0 vacancy, it's just 2 mi from over the rhine(think silver lake) and downtown, it presents cash flowing deals while well in the path of appreciation, and every major hospital in the city is within 1mi.

Hey everyone,There is this property that I am looking at and its not in a particularly nice area, however it is 2 blocks of downtown and a major tech employer in Raleigh.

Your employer is breaking the law, and you are too.

They recently passed a law called "Ban the Box " where employers are not allowed to ask job applicants about their criminal background .

Due to the low price and timing, my full strategy is the following:Buy the property (all cash deal)After getting employment, Cash out refi this property to purchase 3-4 more properties.Cash Flow on the three to four new properties will be $350 per unit (total of $1,400-$1,750)Would like to get some feedback.

My goal is to have five long term rental properties in the area before I retire there in 2019 and then start employing the BRRRR strategy when I am closer to the properties.So to finally answer your question, kind-of turnkey, as in the property that I am looking for is rent ready, but I don't work with a turnkey company as I prefer to use my own property manager to screen tenants.
