As I mentioned in my previous responses to this thread, I am employed by LoanGuys as a customer service representative.

If they don't have assets or well paid employment, I would consider the offer of the payment plan.

Verify credit, employment, etc for you. 6) I would definitely want noise (quiet hours), guests, and treatment of common areas covered. 7) We've used Rent Manager as it focuses more on the financials which I think is super important.

Then he narrows down to towns that have steady employment, good cap rates, and a shortage of rentals.

You typically need up to two years of stable employment before a bank will loan to you.

The great thing about living in a high cost of living area is that your salary / wages are hopefully also very high.If you are a new college grad, I would focus the next 1-3 years on increasing your salary as much as possible(gain new skills, new certifications, change employers, etc).Once you make more money, you can easily get in a position to buy a property on a more frequent basis.Best of luck!

I’ve worked for some group home providers where they employ a maintenance worker who handles some of these issues (usually if the have multiple homes in a specific geographic location) and I’ve worked for homes where the handiest employee fixes things and that option doesn’t always have the best outcomes.

We are more willing to break leases due to employment changes in a MTR. 

For those of you that have good w2 income and want to take advantage of employer matching (100% return!)

As an investor here myself, I can tell you we're seeing solid rental demand here thanks to the strong job market and major employers developing here.
