It depends on your financial strength, the quality of the property, how many properties you own, etc.I like to start with one significant expense and three months of vacancy.

The FF rates in my zipcode are higher than I expected and their quality is less than what I'm bringing online! 

If you want to trade barbs on that, you are not even remotely comparable and it would be a Dave Chapelle quality joke to think so.

So, communication and assignment issues, as well as not being able to explain the maintenance issues and the required work.3) Proper documentation and quality of work issues.

My suggestion is to buy a property worth more than $1M since anything cheaper for 4-plex will not be high quality.

It's really tough finding a reliable and honest contractor who does quality work.

This isn’t about chasing high-growth markets; it’s about addressing systemic issues that impact quality of life and economic stability.

@Jeff SkinnerRecommend 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?

High-quality photos and detailed property descriptions are key. 

Hey everyone,I’m curious to know what strategies have been most effective for you when it comes to finding consistent, high-quality deals.
