Property values: There is a strong relationship between homeownership and property values.

Just be prepared for potential vacancies.My advice is to build relationships with university housing offices.

However, unless you're doing this as part of a BRRRR strategy, you may end up paying closing costs twice and incurring unnecessary interest on the HELOC prior to refinancing.Additionally, conventional loans often have seasoning requirements of 6-12 months, while DSCR loans typically require only 3-6 months.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

.- I prioritize building strong, professional relationships with my buyers by taking the time to understand their needs and goals.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

End of that relationship came when owner called us and expected us to go pick up their guy, who's truck broke down, and drive him to the house - and didn't want to pay us anything for this!

I would add to this one pound into you the good relationships you have with the contractors and agents in your area will be your best and most helpful relationships.

They see foreigners as one-off buyers so they're not too much concerned about building a relationship or their reputation in the eyes of somebody who doesn't live there for that matter.

I don’t like my tenants getting the idea that they will be charged anytime they report something wrong.That’s just my two cents without knowing the entire background on your relationship with the tenant.
