A kid can steal 50 bucks from a store and gets locked up.

One option is you can use a DSCR loan and pull out 75% of the appraised value, you get to retain the asset and you should be able to cash-flow a couple of hundred bucks a month. 

If they have a 500 credit score and are trying to make a buck a popular investment strategy, they could just as easy shut down the LLC, stop paying you rent and jump ship since their credit is already bad, whats another hit.

We've had really good bang for buck value with Zumper as far as ILS goes.We also bought a matterport camera and create a virtual tour of each available rental which creates a nice interactive way for prospective tenants to see a space and get an idea for its layout before touring.We use Appfolio for management software and it pushes the listings automatically out to any ILS who will listen which has been a huge help not having to list the same property on multiple sites. 

- Replace the flushing mechanism about 20 bucks or replace the toilet with a water efficient one if holding long term. 

And doing whatever you can to cover costs make a few bucks while you hold it is just icing.

If you find one who has rental properties and has first hand experience that can be VERY helpful.The conflict of interest is a common question, but really a non-issue if you consider the size of the market and how many properties an agent can buy.My team and I work with a lot of investors and yes I personally buy a handful of properties every year, but there are about 30,000 transactions every year in Milwaukee.

Investors will buck and pout because they really want the money to go to title where it won't be as easy for you to access it if they cancel- they will try to get it back.

But it’s am answer worth paying big bucks to be right. 

Unfortunately I could raise them by about 50 bucks a month but that would be it.
