This creates a negative initial position.

Should have been my first red flag.She first sent two others to do the initial design, never informed me that she would not be there.

@Samuel Coronado, @Elan Adler  Entire subdivisions of build to rent put more pressure on local landlords because the big institutional investors can afford to buy tenants with low rents and free initial rent period.

Wow @Tayvion Payton you struck gold I think I upvoted every initial reply on this thread.

I may have initially done things backwards.

High LTV purchased at retail (off mls) has large initial negative cash flow- regulations are tenant friendly.  

.- Debris littered the recently occupied unit, the basement, and all over the back yard.As mentioned, we had an initial video walk through before the contract to purchase.

With banks, you face lengthy approval processes, piles of paperwork, and significant time spent waiting—time that could be better spent using the funds to address your initial needs.

Many people I speak with initially gravitate towards the "cheaper" areas because "numbers are better." 

Being able to visit properties, oversee rehab projects, and manage your team is crucial for successful investment.Ultimately, there's much to consider beyond the initial purchase and rehab.
