Quote from @Carsyn Childress: I have searched Facebook groups, Craigslist, and meet-ups with little to no luck with consistent volume.

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors.

Love to here that, I am going to shoot you a message now

So, why would you NOT factor in a car payment when determining the liklihood of an applicant paying their rent consistently on time?

This will consist of finding a good deal that requires some work and is below market value, and making sure your contractor is accurate with the budget and executes the work as stated in the contract.

We've rented out some of our best investment properties (New Construction/Turnkey) to Sec 8 residents, and the rent guarantee always helps in achieving consistent cash flow each month.

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

However, some amenities consistently deliver high value because they attract more bookings, increase nightly rates, or result in better guest reviews.

It was the purchase that jump started my real estate investing career by providing a high consistent cash flow, and a large capital gain 4 years later.
