I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

DSCR loans offer more flexibility with long-term fixed rates and less red tape.

Do your research on the forums for general tips on hiring a PM, what to look for, what to look out for, good stories, bad stories, learn from others about their experiences with all kinds of PMs all over the place and take what you learn when you're speaking to PMs in your area so you can more easily see red flags, or green flags!

This is more common that you might think.They do not take into consideration the costs borne by the investor associated with the transaction such as: closing costs, carrying costs, finance costs, exit costs, etc.They are trying to hit a homerun on every deal and not leaving enough "meat on the bone" for the next person. 

It’s a huge red flag. 

There was a post the other day someone posted about and invested in and the sponsor had a very shady past which should have been an immediate red flag. 

The address was submitted to their red book and now shows up online as official address when I try to ship items from Amazon or similar websites.

There were some red flags prior and I should have trusted my gut on those, $2500 lost. 

If investors, you need experience and a strong understanding of how deals should be structured so that you can offer your investors adequate returns to meet their objectives while also having enough meat on the bone to be worth your efforts.

It is seen as a red flag by a portion of the parents.
