Hi @Peet Bothma, would you be able to share the lender's information?

We asked for receipts but haven't received them, even though according to contract they're mandated to share them.  

Can you share some additional numbers about the investment property you're looking to buy?

We really appreciate the shared wisdom and generous community!

Thanks for sharing Charles. 

Here are some practical tips and insights based on my experience managing a real estate fund and working in this field.First, setting realistic expectations.

We have had duplexes with shared water, sewer, and trash billing, as well as shared driveways.The long term tenants act more like owner occupants, planting flowers, etc. and in some cases neighbors think that they are the owners. 

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

Could you please share this info for two categories.#1 Please share the best general coaching program that covers all the Real Estate Investment domains.#2 What about the best focused coaching program that covers Wholesaling.Also, is there a list where these REI coaching programs are listed and rated? 

At some point I'd like to begin a long career in REI and would like to have met some people already that can share in that endeavor.Looking forward to meeting everyone!
