But I know there’s so much to learn from the collective wisdom of this community.Let’s share some insights:What’s been your most successful recent deal, and why?

I am desperate to get this tenant out of the property and collect all past due rent.

@Dave Foster might be able to help plan with 1031@Jackson Hanssen is also a good 1031 resource

I'm also a member of his site which has a ton of great resources, and have a very knowledgable mentor that was assigned to me and my business partner.

Grateful for the collective wisdom here!

Sec 8 collects data to "price fix" what they will allow.

Rather than use credit score as a criteria, I reject for consumer accounts in collections and unpaid civil judgments.

If there are any books, podcasts, or resources you think are essential, please share them!

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.

It keeps things professional while giving you room to grow your expertise.I admire your perspective on keeping your parents’ resources separate from your own—it’s smart to want to succeed on your own terms.
