Not that I don’t enjoy dealing with tenants, maintenance, lawn care, Home Depot and Lowe’s trips and tenant change overs (I recently put new carpets, kitchen floor, appliances, vanity and mirror in the bathroom and fresh paint in my upstairs unit).

@Andrew Steffens Yes, low data definitely makes it riskier.

Because so much real estate in the US or Canada wouldn't be profitable without ultra low interest rate (as many investors are discovering lately), we are obsessed with getting cheap financing.

Quote from @Bonnie Low: I work with a lot of MTR investors and what I am seeing frequently with multifamily acquisitions, particularly with new investors, is that they often test the property just like you're mentioning, as a way to dip their toes in the water and see what works in their area and for their personal style.

On the low end, you had $1365 as the rent assumption. 

There are a million low cost or free options out there.

So I had a windfall and can sort of "semi retire" with a part time low stress job. 

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

Tornado, wind, hail, flooding if in a low spot, general weather related.

Hi Vincent, there is a significant difference in true Hard Money and rehab loans, rehab loans won’t be low doc by any means.Hard money should be fairly simple & quick to fund, it’s strictly equity based.How bad is the condition of the property?
