As others have said house hacking is the best way to get yourself in the REI game. 

Trying to raise my prices in VRBO around some football games.

The long game the appreciation is where you will be building more wealth than a 500 or 1000 per month cash flow. 

Eviction process should be started...whether that's the end game or not...

Hi Bryan,It's very rare that you would be able to put down 0% on these deals as lenders like to see that you have some skin in the game (worth giving a try though).

Areas like Newnan, LaGrange, Carrollton are fair game and solid markets from a demographics and price to rent stand point.

This isn't Nike and Michael Jordan and paying the NBA per game fine for having too much color on your shoes... this is pretty serious stuff.Unfortunate, for sure.

In other words...people that don't have enough skin in the game to even cover the deposit. 

However, you will need skin in the game at least 60%,of the ARV. 

They have enough on their plate and helping some newbie get in the game isn't going to be high on their priority list (or on it at all).You've probably read some books and listened to podcasts and they said you need to build your team to be successful.
