I am in talks with a couple people now.

Just like investing in any city though there are a couple areas to stay away from, but they are not hard to identify and they are not large. 

He is my preferred lender, as well as, fellow investor  too.

I preferred couples rather than families due to liability and damage.

I’d recommend starting with a property that needs little/cosmetic work that can be rented from day one, and preferably has existing tenants.

Like @Bruce Woodruff I prefer VRBO guests but I haven't had terrible luck with AirBNB guests.

Double or triple that suckage for anything less than C+/B-   If you wouldn’t be willing to walk there from a couple blocks away at 10PM, that’s a hard pass in any market. 

We bought a single family up here last year and converted a garage to an ADU, which rented out really quickly to a great young couple.

You do not need a court hearing to move forward.You can read my book to get more details, but you essentially have a couple options. 1.

I have a couple lenders who say they could "figure it out", but it would require some grey area finagling like having the tenant sign a lease personally instead of the company.So the questions is, what do I do now.
