Because we are dependant, for the most part, on word of mouth recommendations it is vital that our recommendations are valid. 

There's literally no advertising in the post at all, it's simply a news update on changes to UW guidelines...

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I hope you enjoy these books recommendations!

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

I just sent you a PM with a good recommendation! 

Would appreciate if you could recommend any good lenders that you have worked with in the past.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
