I use my own application, which has an imbedded authorization to release information for their employer and landlord.If they have not confirmed an hour prior to their appointment, I send this text to their phone (which was required as part of their contact information I required in the response to my ad):As I had requested in my email, you have not yet confirmed your apartment showing for this evening, scheduled for 7:00pm.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

I'm looking to enter this asset class at a smaller price point to learn it more.

When that’s not enough they go after personal assets, if your rental is in your personal name it’s targeted.

Hey Diandre,Are you looking to bundle them together and do a cash-out portfolio refinance, or are you wanting to keep them as single assets and refinance them that way?

This is due to longer notice requirements primarily.Collecting from the housing authority is great. 

Investor focused realtors & Property managers are going to be your biggest asset since they'll be finding your deals & managing the day to day operations for you.

I would be amazed, shocked even, if a traditional financial institution was willing to lend on a non-habitable asset up to 80%. 

It will also depend on how your asset allocation is, I like to keep mine mixed between real estate and the stock market.

If Denver’s appreciation is still strong, borrowing might keep you growing while holding onto a great asset!
