From what I've seen, the average view-to-application ratio on platforms like Facebook Marketplace can vary quite a bit, but a general ballpark is around 5-10%.

The only thing is the HOA fees go up and they can do special assessments and you have no control over it.

It is quite common to conduct a move-out assessment for damages and apply the costs against the security deposit (SD).

If I were to go this route I would clearly identify each of these risks individually, understand how the Govt would potentially challenge each of them and then assess in your particular fact pattern how you would effectively rebut a challenge to each. 

Aside from educating yourself, the next steps are to honestly assess yourself and see where you best fit into the equation and to build sponsor relationships because these will be very important for you as you start out.If you determine that you're best suited for the "finding money" part, then the content approach is a good way to get your name out there. 

I would do a few BRRR deals (SFR or small multis) and then re-assess your situation.

@Christopher MorrisTo assess a market, consider population growth, job market, economic growth, rent-to-price ratio, cost of living, school districts, and growth benchmarks.

That was the sales pitch that looked attracted to me and here I am 3 months after closing and no tenant, even the numbers looked good, my ROI was going to be decent, but looking at the new tax assessment next year my numbers are going to change a lot, leaving with very little cash flow.

I think they got rocked in FL and the southeast generally are still assessing things.

Assuming the insurance premiums don’t significantly impact my cash flow (which is one of my primary goals), how do you assess the risk of taking out a loan under my personal name versus opting for a commercial loan that requires a larger down payment and comes with a higher interest rate?
