I got internship offers my freshman year by simply showing up to REIAs and telling people in the industry how interested I was.All the best,Cam

-Can property values decline due to registered sex offender living in area?

You run the criminal background check to confirm if a applicant is a sex offender.Bottom line is you still have the ability to reject any applicant you choose for personal reasons even if it is their appearance, attitude smell etc.

------Here is an example of my Return spreadsheet: it may be wrong but it works for me:6 units commercial ( I use same calc for my single and multi) Semi Triple Net:Current    PotentialTotal Gross Rent/mo      $8,800     $14,3000 ( 50% vacancy when I bought it)Total GAI    $105,600      $171,600 Taxes         $23,000        $30,000  (I assume reassessment, I just bought this)      Ins         $ 4,000          $ 4,000 Financing    $48,000         $48,000  ( shouldn't be here, but it works for me)_________________________________NOI              $30,600         $96,600    RETURN          3%                 9%        (Purchase price + Capex dollar= $1.155M)This one is Triple Net, so I don't have Utilities/operating expense in here, my tenants pay, I do have house stuff, but that is calc in a different CAM spreadsheet sheet.  

My second thought was how much I would hate to be across from a school if I were renting it - the noise level and the periods of high traffic in the area would be downsides I'd be sure to mention in a review.My advice would be: if you want to move forward with it, look into the local laws re: convicted sex offenders to make sure you can conform to them, and prominently disclose in your listing that you're across from a school.  

I'm using the The Property Buying Process as of right now as a guide from the Ultimate Beginners Guide So I am on step three and cam along a question about financing the deal(s) What does everyone think about using a line of credit or home equity.

I've heard about signs like these and they are possibly sex trafficking rings.

McCart,I'm glad I cam across this post, as I am a Loan Analyst located in the Sarasota, Florida area.If you would like to connect on some of these deals and possible pathways forward for you (and your wife) please send me a message!

Which includes: criminal, credit, prior eviction (wouldn't help now with Covid,) plus checking their sex offender status and social media.You would think that those screenings are enough, I know I did.

I do care about:Work history - I call the employer to verify income and tenure of employmentincome 3x rent.evictionscriminal - big offenses - sex offender, robbery, etc.
