Conversion rate is extremely low when you get started BUT it will give you good practice speaking with sellers who have a ton of objections.

People work, they are in the middle or organizing after a move, they have utilities to set up - it's a relatively hectic time period for a lot of people.

I don’t see the condo ownership  being adverse to your objectives.

Your objective is solid and I am wondering if you are would be: 1.

Just a lot of systems, paperwork organization, and staying abreast of/within the law (required notices, addendums, etc.).3) The screening criteria we use:650 credit score or aboveIncome 3x the monthly rentNo pets (depending on the property)No smokingNo evictions, notices to comply, or money owed to landlords in the past 12 monthsProof of income and financial responsibilityAdditional:First, last, and security deposit due at signing750+ credit score does not require last month rent (helps incentivize quality tenants)Best of luck!

My primary objective is to buy something within a few hours of residency.

With the increased competition among sellers, it’s crucial to prepare a listing to stand out among the rest and work to address buyer objections prior to going on market.

I have a website built already and it's been up just floating about in the space of the internet with no organic searches.

It all starts with becoming an expert in your market, creating broker relationships, understanding what your goals are, learning and applying the framework.And not to jump around to the next shiny object.  

As a borrower your objective should be to  turn over a well organized and easy to digest loan package.
