It would be a different story if I were endorsing a business that was not doing a good job.  

I do not think enough coverage is going to the people who are fighting this fight -that job is tough and a big uphill battle to fight these fires. 

We offered asking price to begin with to actually get our hand on the deal.

The friend who shared this deal with us offered to provide the loan.

Our primary property management partner oversees more than 200 of our clients' properties and offers MTR management at competitive rates (I do not receive any referrals btw).

Currently have a great job but want to start acquiring  2-4 unit complexes.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I may specialize in VA loans, but I also offer a range a conventional, FHA, USDA and commercial lending options. 

By offering real value in a way that has high demand, I’ve been able to build strong relationships with people who are actively doing deals.

They also tend to offer good cash flow relative to their cost, especially in areas with high demand for affordable housing.
