My dad considered a six month to one year vacancy between tenants normal.

They are in Fountain Square, Crooked Creek, and Forest Manor/Audubon Gardens.I normally see expense ratios sitting around 40-50% for SFH's, is this accurate for this area? 

Is it normal to have a negative cash flow in the beginning?

Always be in front of the contract and prioritize where you're buying and entry price. lf all those are three in your favor, you have a lot of leeway with some of the normal but difficult parts of a fix & flop/hold.

I know a HELOC normally does not come with much of a closing cost, but over the long-term, this might make the most sense. 

It lacks good standards for entry and results in a lot of noise from potential renters and messenger I not something I normally look at.

Guests normally don't like to be asked to cover damages that they caused and sometimes give a lower rating because we ask them to cover it even though they have COI that insures my listing.So I'm exploring the event guest screening option that they could put down the security deposit as well. 1.

Would love to talk more about what it is specifically you are looking for because 50k is normally the minimum I recommend so you could definitely make something work.

Normally a lot of people will just flip a property and split the profits 50/50 but even tasks can be split.

I remember waking up eagerly because it was so positive to attend and learn more.
