We also own our management company & manage the properties afterward, offering a seamless, one-stop-shop experience.If you have any questions along the way, I’m more than happy to assist.

The banks include the lot of land into the construction as well but do shop for land that superseded the home price.

We installed an interior French drain system in the basement, because we knew that the neighborhood is prone to water intrusion.

Each neighborhood is different, especially with new builds, since they can straddle cities/counties or be unincorporated, but generally speaking you will be responsible for all of the above 4.

We are officially under contract for our first property - a SFH in what I would gets is a B-C type of neighborhood.

The affordable housing market and diverse neighborhoods make it easy to enter.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Would love to connect and talk shop. 

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to shop for a mortgage to pay off the hard money.

@Jared Carpenter, I am looking for brokers and agents first and foremost to learn more about the neighborhoods and seeing how the market is to see if it is aligned with the cashflow I am looking for.
