If you buy a high quality asset in a nice suburb with great schools, which appreciates, you increase your chances of success.

I spoke with a mortgage "quality auditor" recently who said he knocked on 600 doors last month.

Recently, one of my clients closed on a 3/2 single family house for $185k, $25k rehab, and $264k ARV so they were able to do a clean cash out refinance!

.: I haven't passed this past legal review so for what its worth: Part of my standard requirements for everyone include income is at least 3X rent, minimum credit score, say 640, Clean record and no evictions as well as deposit is paid in full at signing of lease and 1st month rent is paid in full prior to handing over the keys.

We didn't know the siding needed to be replaced because it was just recently replaced by the owner before selling it to us, but probably with bad quality paint/siding. 

so... clean-out and demo?
