All these properties were bought sight unseen on their recommendations. 

Also, any advice on managing budgets for PPC in the real estate sector would be really helpful.Thanks in advance for any insights. 

(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

Another thought - are you considering an FHA loan on the next one?

At least a third of them are Class D.DM us if you'd like more info on which Metro Detroit Cities & Neighborhoods are what Class:)

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I personally used a 40k ADU grant with CALFHA HPP Cares that covered a chunk of the cost.

I like to use removable pillow covers with down inserts.

Here we're tripped by the latter.The debate on this thread centered on who is legally responsible for payments on a loan taken Subject-To.

At $2450, it will cover those expenses.
