Homes aren't brand new, but usually not in too bad of shape.As for the realtor, I haven't had the opportunity to work with too many here.

I'd say it really depends if you are an established agent or a brand new agent.  

If franchisee goes out and you have to re-tenant  then you could have a cap rate drop for income and an erosion of equity position.If rent is a little above market but you have absolute guarantee from YUM brands a parent corp for example backed by over 10,000 stores then rent is likely to continue over the lease.

I wouldn't buy brand new and rent out a single family.

I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets and am local to a few of you.

Brand of paint?

I would like to keep using a cheap, larger format tile (so that we minimize grout lines) with dark colored grout, but need some fresh ideas to modernize it a bit. 

My name is Luke Bauer and I'm brand new to real estate.

Being that it's a tourist city, Brand Ambassadors frequent the city and theirs always flight crew passing through, I know it will be very busy.

I realize that this may need some light fixing up here and there since it's not freshly rehabbed.
