Cutting corners in this area is not advisable.

Even if you just do it in the short term, then maybe you'd save 10% there and be efficient enough to cut your vacancy % down to 5?

I'll let a broker do that and earn a cut for their efforts.

We should see rate cuts in 2025, so there should be relief on the way.

Use a DSCR loan and cut those docs in half or more.

You will get an idea of the area, are the yards cut?

Thanks, but we don't care - it's stupid protectionist policies like that which resulted in the NAR lawsuit agreeing to mandatory commissions being cut last month. 

Like Bob said, you'll get pretty good at it in a few years, but there ain't no short-cuts.

I'd make sure to have a clear cut criteria of the tenant you want in the property to help direct the PM company.I spoke with another investor that uses a real estate agent in New Jersey to help place her long-term tenants.

I'll cut and paste what we send out for the initial approval for a loan on multi-family, but it's similar to what we ask for for a MH Park.
