For my POH park I have a hourly PT maintenance manager who keeps our rentals in shape. 

I manage hundreds of rentals and have had thousands of tenants, but I've never been sued once.

My name is Christian and I am new to real estate investing and BiggerPockets.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

That makes the investing and property management a LOT easier.  

For owner managed properties like this we see expense ratios in the 35%+ range. 

I’ve been involved in multiple mentorships, including Gator Lending since 2022, and I can tell you firsthand that this community is rooted in professionalism, learning, and collaboration—not in the stereotypes you're peddling.Transactional funding is a time-tested practice in real estate, with over a century of history behind it.

Their numbers did not always add up from the initial calls to the follow up, and I believe the returns they are offering are super aggressive.

I’ve been in the financial planning industry for nearly 13 years, hold a Master’s in Advanced Financial Life Planning, I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and I also teach these concepts to aspiring CFPs and graduate students at Golden Gate University.
