The market appreciates 3% per year.Pay cash for one house and rent it for $1,500.

For some people, cash flow is the cake, appreciation is the icing.

I'm going to have an attorney review my lease agreement, but all the documentation that I have came with my BiggerPockets MANAGING RENTAL PROPERTIES book a few years ago, pre-pandemic...and it's a lot.For those using KeyCheck for their MTR listings, did you also find that additional documentation was needed, besides the 3 key things that KC provides? 

Hello all, I've got a class C property that has not provided me much in the way of qualified tenants.

Do they provide monthly reports?

I'm helping my clients do the same and we see deals that hit the 1% rule, are cash flowing, and have lots of appreciation potential due to the growing macroeconomics of the area.

I was hoping to structure a deal that involves paying the seller every month and then a balloon payment in 5 years (when I can get an 80% LTV cash out refinance to put a mortgage on the property without having to put any money down because I'll have built up at least 20%).

So as long as it can provide insurance and pay the bills, I don't care much what it is.

PP  50k  EM   1k  rehab/trash out  2k JLH Capital partners provided the 50k to close the transaction.JLH Client paid the 1k EM  and the 2k trash out.JLH Capital pays insurance for the client JLH Capital partner is responsible for Utls. 

If you do research ahead of time, what are some red flags that would cause you to back out of a deal or add a couple thousand to the deal cost for legal battles/ cash for keys?
