Reason why is because FDIC Bankers "Do Not" charge points on traditional programs like primary homes, standard investment purchase and refinance, Second home/vacation homes.Lenders, Brokers all charge points to meet their Loan officer compensation plan (commission).

Is this standard for most major property management companies.

So every month we have a member of our team reach out to investors to check in and see if they have questions, wish them a happy anniversary for investing and just check in…..Over the past few months we have had multiple investors panic on calls noting “please don’t tell me my investment is gone” (NOTE as we mention above not purpose of call), as several have noted they cannot take another complete loss on investment.

@Ben CallahanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Have you checked VRBO and AirBNB?

@Krystal Stone I would be sure to check and see how many clients (youth) they are planning to house at one time.

Note at “standard” MLS market rent to price ratio, the property tax alone is ~20%.

It is surprisingly easy to manage out of state and if you want more tips on how, check out Bigger Pockets book "30 Day Stay" on Mid Term Rentals. 

I checked this out and it looks overpriced without having any other info.

@Michelle Hardy Just adding, check your local city too for their requirements, many have specific requirements that the state may not have.Here in VT in the towns my properties are in, there is not a requirement to keep them separate or pay interest.
