It seems like a win-win: tenants benefit financially, and landlords strengthen tenant relationships while making their properties more appealing. 

This is appealing as I want to spread my cash reserve as much as possible. 20 percent down each time will really limit my progress.  

While appealing in theory, the reality is different.More units do not result in increased income reliability.

They uncover a lot of problems with these properties.It sounds like you have enough to work with to appeal their process.

Raise rents, reduce expenses (shop insurance, appeal taxes, refinance, etc). 3.

Although Im not saying that’s always the right call, if you care about monthly cash flow and year-round sunshine, Phoenix can look mighty appealing.

the market is much more unforgiving than it used to be - i know those price points in Ohio and Alabama look appealing to someone in California, but they come with their own challenges.see these threads and see what you think.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...

I recently used a structural engineer to do a visual inspection of one of my single family rentals. 

Interest rates here tend to be lower than elsewhere (I have no clue as to why), and therefore to me it's appealing to borrow everything I can here and use it in the US assuming I can find deals where the numbers make sense.

(Tedious process)Unlike my other properties, where most applicants meet the criteria and need to see the unit to decide if they like it, this particular unit appeals to almost everyone (In this demographic)—but many fail to meet the qualification requirements.
