Start the process, you will lose along the way, it wont make sense a lot of the time but you need to get through a lot of the hurdles, and processes to really understand what works for you and what does not.But be careful with your home, make sure you don't lose the shirt on your back...

It has zero to do with the purchase price or market value.Nobody can tell you if that is the best value you can find without actually quoting this property with you as the owner but I can tell you that the price is not unreasonable.

In all honesty, this rental increase in a depressed area makes me wary that future increases will be more unreasonable and more extreme, and I should "get while the gettin's good."

This is a fairly expensive area and the amount does not seem unreasonable to me.

These deals require REAL WORK but the hurdles can be overcome.

Losing insurance coverage could very well be deemed "unreasonable" by a Fair Housing hearing officer.

The main hurdle that many of our borrowers face are the income aspect of it, especially expensive markets like the West coast.

I have been studying this space over the last few months and a lot of GPs rely on the ignorance of investors (about their failures, inexperience, unrealistic underwriting assumptions or their unreasonable fees) to take more people's money. 

It’s a higher hurdle than a credit card charge back and much higher than ACH.

Although I know my situation has its downsides, I know there has to be someone here who has overcome similar hurdles.
