It's a virtuous cycle that expands your network and opens doors to even more lucrative investments.One of my key principles as an investor is to provide attractive returns to my partners.

I would lean towards a down payment so you add more doors. 

Finding creative ways to value add could be a good avenue to get you in the door, especially if your partner is a contractor. 

So many of the builds I've visited, some multiple times, seem to be frozen in time: the homes are dried-in (roof paper, windows and doors), tiled floors, drywall installed, and then a dead-stop.

If a seller can flake out in less than a month what can a seller do or at least try to do given a 3+ year span of time????

When rented, we lock all interior bedroom doors aside from the bedroom we are renting by the room and sync the calendar with the main house's calendar.

The roof is over the next door properties property line.

GPS isn't always 100% accurate and trying to open the door of the wrong house can have seriously bad consequences.

There are more details here if interested.I will not tell anyone to do or not to, that is a choice that you will have to make and also it is a choice to work it or not, like any system.

Regardless of what you think you will it rent for or ask per door its irrelevant.
