@Rory DarcyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

They must provide quality service, or their clients won't want to pay the price.

*Self-manage your property for at least one year to maximize profits and ensure quality guest experiences.Hopefully, this helps in some way.

Fannie mae allows you to transfer your loan into an LLC, but it is recommended that you speak to your loan servicer and ask that if they themselves will allow you to do so.

A few small touches, like high-quality linens and a welcome guide, can make a big difference. 

I would definitely speak with an attorney before selling/disposing of the property prior to the court addressing the joint assets - you could easily open a can of worms.

Once you narrow it down, start with small jobs to test their reliability and quality before giving them bigger projects.Building a solid network takes time, but having dependable people on call is a lifesaver for your rentals.

In speaking with a lender, I am told that the equity in the property can be used as collateral against the loan if owned for at least 1 year. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

But can anyone here actually speak from their OWN experience as to why NWAC is bad?
