We track the stats every year and last year there was $28 Billion in seller financed paper recorded across the U.S.

One year should show a track record of the tenant to see if you want to deal with anything bad or good. 

I really want to do an apartment building but i want to build a track record first of smaller deals and just looking for a strategy to get into deals similar to a subto or wrap.whats an agency loan?

There sure are fast track approaches to this but really depends on strategy. 

Most hard money lenders will want to know about your track record - if you have no experience, partnering with someone who has a track record will likely be an easier path to approval (and likely higher leverage) than applying by yourself. 

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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?

Any time you are looking for updates to your build, we have a dedicated email for you to send requests to – we ask for 72 hours to respond because we have many builds, clients, permits, jobs, etc. that we are tracking and working with on a daily basis– and of course we value every relationship.

I agree that you can use a Realtor with a proven track record. 

I do like the idea of VAs tracking KPIs I got to let the team know!

You’re definitely on the right track thinking through tenant demand upfront, especially with a lot of similar inventory sitting.For marketing, Zillow is really it.
