@Fakaradin Floy as mentioned landlords in alexandria don’t need help renting units right now and will not risk arbitraging the unit that is solely based on your ability to rent the unit when you have no experience and will most likely take no responsibility for damage.Am

I don't have a lot of confidence that those numbers are true (10 DOSC for him, a few dozen for his students), considering the source. 

You need to find out the source of the issue first before you start charging the tenant. 

Focusing solely on numbers often leads to junk real estate.

If you do source this information, you may start with the note and go to greater extremes should that not work.

Hey @Trevor Scheumann, The biggest thing to look for when visiting a new potential market is going to be to network with boots on the ground, namely property managers, highly recommended realtors and maybe a few contractors if they come from trusted sources.

Now you'll need to source a new lending opportunity.

To debunk it, we're going straight to the source — the IRS.The IRS says to keep records for your business tax deductions indicating:What you boughtWhen you bought itHow much you spentAnd guess what?

If that's not possible, find a local investor and work on sourcing the deals to partner up.

@Max Nathanyou won't be able to get a loan "for the down payment" specifically, so you'd need cash from some other source, like a HELOC or a personal loan.
