Speaking as an immigrant myself, immigrants do not want any eviction record on their credit as they are trying to establish a life here, but I am not sure how to facilitate an eviction process for an international tenant with limited information on hand. 

If you keep failing inspections... well, there are plenty of landlords happy to take HUD's checks instead of running credit reports.My advice if you do Section 8 anywhere is to hire a property manager who is genuinely comfortable and experienced with vouchered housing.

But if it were my first deal, I'd go 4 units or less to let the REI bug bite :) Hey Erwin I'm pretty fortunate that I don't have any real credit card debt, car loans, student loans or anything outstanding other than my mortgages.

I have since then increased my net worth to over 100k invested and completely debt free with a credit score of 745.

We negotiated 15k in closing cost credits along with a washer/dryer and fridge How did you finance this deal?

@Robert Akens I second Ned's vote on the BWI Meetup (hat tip @Christina R. , who got me involved). 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Zillow or Apartments.com have credit and background check tools.

However, giving credit where it is due, Mojo is really good with mailing addresses and property information in my opinion. 

Renters had 680+ credit score when moved in.
