@Serge Hounkponou Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want 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?

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

Also, if you're familiar with Chicago, it's your standard 6-unit building, so imagine the sidewalk surrounding it. 

Quote from @Vince Scipione: Standard would be an FHA loan for your situation more than likely.

I spoke with a mortgage "quality auditor" recently who said he knocked on 600 doors last month.

It depends on who you're hiring but that seems fairly standard.  

After that make sure you have your property up to standard before placing a tenant.

As you know, I was so impressed by the quality of the offering that I decided to join as well and have been on a couple of group calls.I'm the Director of Commercial Real Estate Acquisitions for Southcorp Group in Columbus, Georgia.

If you hate the process of placing tenants, it may be worth it to hire a property manager to handle tenant placement for you.I think finding a new tenant is a better long term strategy if you're confident you can find a higher quality tenant that will cause you fewer headaches.
