-I would retail the home but there's a tenant in there I'm trying to evict for non-payment but they're being difficult so I may not be able to get them out in time.

We've done demos with all of the big name PMS options and are finding big gaps with all of them, mostly when it comes to payment processing.

The lender may figure if the borrower had this kind of money they’d be making the mortgage payments. 

Since you haven't started the project yet, use this time to network with lenders to see who offers the best terms....seasoning, rate, leverage and pre-payment penalty terms. 

Automated messaging systems and payment portholes will be in place. 

If they are, I would pay them off first.I would invest in a different market(likely bigger market) where you can find reliable contractors or find a PM that will be able to manage the properties.

I agree with what others above said, that having a reliable, honest and knowledgeable team is the most important thing...more so than perhaps the location. 

He collects cash down payment and finances the rest.

they are kidding themselves one needs to punch in 50% to 55% of gross cash flow for expenses then deduct your mortgage payments.. anything less than that will not play out over the years.

Hi, I was wondering if there's any good reliable places to market tenant in place + management in place properties.
