Many property managers tend to focus on physical occupancy rates, but what truly matters is the economic occupancy rates—the actual rent collected.

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

Do we focus on flipping, (currently we have actually been trying to do this, but we physically can't find enough contractors in our smaller market <100K population to do that much work).

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

In my experience, the good ones are expensive, typically require a subscription, and sometimes they even do a physical inspection of your premises to verify it is a legitimate person / business in US.

THANKS Your local credit union might be your best bet.

Kieran, the best bet here is to refinance with a DSCR loan.

Haha I bet there's been some crazy stuff out there but the one's I'll put up will definitely of better quality and insulated.

One area can show great signs but literally cross the railroad tracks and it’s a different world.Be aware of these types of physical delineation.If you are getting no demand from qualified applicants then I would say it’s not in a margin of a gentrifying neighborhood.  

I wouldn't bet my life on 50%, but I would bet they are more problematic than the typical long-term renter.
