Lau, generally if you are financing with a commercial lender- we lend for business purpose only and a rental property would fall under that category.

I am cross eyed by all the FB and Instagram gurus but one or two seem to be legit and I absolutely want a mentor and a team.

It’s a blessing (the reason you found real estate in the first place) and a curse (you probably get distracted easily on what asset class to focus on).

RW discovered that most clients shop with a "what are the monthly management fees" approach and not a "what are all of your revenue streams" approach.RW competes with a very competitive flat monthly management fee but then charges a minimum of 1 full month's rent for leasing and a host of other fees. 

Our company requires first/last name and a mailing address for the owner.

Add 2 points and a processing fee for the broker an underwriting fee for the lender and various and sundry closing costs and you're golden.

If the agent is their own broker and a sole practitioner then you need someone else to decipher the agency relationships that may or may not exist.

In my opinion, I like a cash asset, but they may be able to sell now, buy a smaller house for themselves, and a rental property or two in Texas.

I had over 200 sfrs in jackson proper all C and D class U want to think they are B s  but not really in all but one area of the city of Jackson and a ton of section 8.. those were a nightmare..

It is pricey and a little hard to make the numbers in my experience, but it is a vast area (S FL in general) so I am sure there are pockets where it makes sense.
