Sad to say, but i let this property go.

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

The tenant supposedly had complained for months to the property manager that the furnace was not working.

I am taking your advise, and switched my game plan to include a local agent or property manager to show the properties. 

.: Its typical for real estate investors to hire a private home/building inspectors to inspect a real estate property before they buy it.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I have 3 long term rentals, but this is my first time with commercial property. 

Ability to find properties off market6.

I don't get the term "DSCR loan"   I mean all loans for 5+ units are based more on the property than the buyer.     

The entirety of these cities aren't just comprised of cheap run down properties.
