I would do a Google search of realtors in your target areas and find those with the highest ratings.

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

$3,200 is probably a decent rate unless it’s new construction.

The price points do make it hard to cash flow even with the lower interest rate subject tos. 

The Fed rate cuts will eventually help bring down mortgage rates.

I would find a loan officer that does both conventional and FHA renovation loans to compare which has better rates and terms for your situation.

Conventional loan, 25% down at ~7% interest rate How did you add value to the deal?

Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.

When evaluating markets for rental properties, there are a lot of factors to consider: population growth, employment rates, rent to price ratio/GRM/Cap Rate, rent trends, vacancy rates, etc. 

Some lenders offer discounts to return borrowers so maybe look into both flip and DSCR rates when finding a lender.
