The current status of the market is low end rentals land lords that let the houses look like crap. 

My low months were 50-65% occupancy and 100% for summer.

We’ve tried other platforms on the market, but the message delivery rates were very low compared to the 85%+ I get here.

The most important thing on your first deal is to keep the risk low.

I usually have very low turnover so I was hoping to organically grow my presence and name brand so that I had more visibility in the marketplace.

The downpayment is good but the interest is to low.

I also watch occupancy rates and adjust if bookings are low.

I have heard about low cost granite / stone, i just don't know where to get it. 

BUT The points they charge and interest are both way higher than normal, on some deals I ran numbers the points and interest were going to be 20k on properties where the ARV is 100k so you have to get properties at such a low price to make it work that it is so hard.

That’s why you get a discounted interest rate and a lower downpayment, because owne occupant properties are low risk.
