Many investors prefer to work with experienced local property managers to oversee day-to-day operations and ensure the property is well-maintained.For apartments, they can be solid investments due to economies of scale, but it's important to carefully assess the location, rental demand, and potential for appreciation.

I also have some solid contacts I can bring into play.

The city offers a mix of high appreciation potential in certain areas and solid cash flow in others.

A solid CRM helps track conversations and follow-ups, but at the end of the day, nothing replaces genuine, meaningful interactions.

If so you should be able to qualify for solid terms on a DSCR based loan. 

From my experience, taking it step-by-step has helped me avoid mistakes and build a solid foundation for the long term.

Risk & Due Diligence – Ensure the deal has strong equity, a solid exit strategy, and an experienced investor before funding.
