What screening process do you use? 

go to local meetups, they should have some here or try meetup app or eventbrite. continue to network and that can help you execute your plans.

@Eudith- great tip.I have been interviewing/learning the process for the past two weeks.

You are like many others who are getting started and unfortunately your generation is screwed because of the amount of spending is older generations have done and put the debt on you which also has led to record inflation.All you can do now is plan for the future and don’t force things but invest wisely when the time is right.

- You can buy using FHA 203(k) loan which allows you to finance repairs into the purchase mortgage.If you find you like being a landlord, you can BRRRR a property every year.You can also start BRRRing rentals w/o planning to live in them.

Quote from @Jaren Taylor: Quote from @Chris Mason: If you have the ability to market and raise money, then you secure the down payment, and do the normal commercial mortgage process. 

She informed me that she & her sisters plan to take care of the rent so he still has the home when he gets out of the hospital. 

Ask the manager to explain their process for dealing with maintenance, late rent, evictions, turnover, etc.

You'll definitely need more time to get things processed.

You’ll need to handle inspections, work with housing authorities, and make sure your tenant screening process is solid.
