When you have a duplex and tenants on both sides stay for ten years, it almost guarantees that something isn't right.I would study your market and determine the value of your rental, because I bet you are losing money every month.

My attorney that handles SEC registration told me something along the lines of $1.5-2M as a minimum if I remember correctly.

But don’t worry, you’ll work with your agent ahead of time to agree on what this is, so you won’t be surprised at the finish line.3.

Id generally like to buy and refinance 6 months to 1 year down the line and scale up bigger rentals. 

I flew there and walked the house, looked pretty turnkey rental grade): $1029 GFCI outlets, downspouts and guards, drywall, paint, bathroom vent$4615 (new AC unit since unit was stolen before tenant moved in, didn't file insurance claim because didn't want my premium to go up) $600 (water line, gas line, P trap)$60 lawn mowing$112  thermostat repairMy opinion is that Class C is better for local investors who are on site and know how to do repairs and self manage.

We might have another reliable tenant already lined up.

Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.

And, I think most women would choose a midwife that has gone through pregnancy.Like the OBGYN situation, there is a lot a CPA may not know about the rental business from debiting and crediting some journals and filling out line 242 on some Turbo Tax input form.And, understanding the operating details of the rental business are just as different from preparing a tax return as being pregnant is from delivering a baby. 

Depending on your credit score in the US and credit trade line history, you could put as low as 25% down.

I recommend lining someone up before you leave for a 1 year term.
