I’ve built a ton of solid connections with reliable contractors.

From my experience, cities like Greenville, Columbia, Augusta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Jacksonville offer strong house-hacking opportunities with growing job markets, solid rental demand, and affordable multi-family options.

I am just saying if I managed your property, I would never paid for the damage out of my pocket simply because I have a solid system and team to win any reimbursement cases. 

Jokes aside, RBC is usually a solid first choice.

Sometimes they’ve already negotiated solid group rates.

I imagine it can be tricky without face-to-face interaction, but it sounds like you’ve got a solid approach.Honestly, I don't have a process for establishing trust with sellers other than being polite and professional.

THAT is not working.Not only did I explain WHY you are not having any luck with it, I show you what does work, by educating you and showing you data, evidence, and facts. 

(My credit scores are solid.)Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Getting a property with a 3% mortgage that offered both equity appreciation and solid cash flow is what sparked my passion for real estate investing.

Single-family homes and small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes) are solid options depending on your goals.
