Hey,
I'm a foreign CRE investor, tired of French taxes and complexities in everything there. I started to invest two years ago in 2 SFR in Birmingham, AL (type C homes). 
Expecting to continue that type of investmen...

On the next renewal just site rehabbing the entire unit and get her out.

Joseph,Bigger Pockets is the best site on the internet to build a newtork and get all the hlep you need to avoid mistakes and save money! 

So those could meet your needs without you having to do any of the management or additional expenses for repairs.

Has anyone purchased homes off of auction sites or even in person?

thanks for that so is 1.5% bad bc that's what that person messaged me  there is no regulation on Transactional funding basically its whatever you can negotiate.. 1% is the going rate from most.. some will be higher some will be lower.. just google around for TF funding and and talk to a number of those funders to find your best deal.there are half a dozen of these folks or so on BP that do provide this service maybe they will catch this thread or maybe you do some snooping around on the site and find them.

The addition of a private balcony and standout interior design further elevated its appeal to both short-term and long-term tenants.

I understand the cost of having to separate meters and purchasing additional water heaters and such will be hefty.

Determine how much money would be needed to handle each risk, and determine if you have sufficient liquidity / cash flow to ensure you can “stay in the game”.This is of course in addition to all normal “due diligence”, financial forecasting, etc. 

There is not one site where you can look up all the data.
