are rent increases realistic?

In one instance I was told that the seller was expecting 92 to 94% of UPB, which was in that scenario equivalent to a 85% LTV, and I thought this was too high for the amount of risk and unknown involved.I would love to be buying these around 50 to 60% LTV but don t know if that s realistic currently?

Quote from @Kenny Dahill: @Gisell Garcia@Miguel Angel, anyways I've built our own rent collection software, I'm still realistic and understand why landlords choose Venmo/Zelle. 

@Kenneth JohnsonTo invest in real estate, build a strong financial foundation, educate yourself, network, start small with house hacking, FHA loans, and savings, consider creative financing options, build sales and negotiation skills, and have realistic expectations.

someone local will probably get it.again... just trying to be realistic. 

I do have experience with significant home renovation but for a personal residence, based on my experience with this I would prefer to buy a property built after 1970 if possible but not sure if that's realistic, the only deals I could seem to find from the MLS are very old houses which I know often brings more challenges with the renovation.Would appreciate any references or suggestions anyone has, so far I've only invested in rental properties that were already in good condition bought with a loan.

Ideally, you'd have a credit card per entity as well but this isn't realistic once you scale past ~10 properties.

I pay them a very nice bonus at the end of the year, so realistically it's probably more like $35/hr, so my labor cost for the job would be around $7,000.   

if you run the numbers on a sub 150K property and use realistic expenses as @Kevin Sobilo pointed out you will see what we mean.
