If the realtor is telling you that it comps with houses that are obviously bigger/newer/nicer/better location then send them on their way.

Down payments on commercial properties are bigger, particularly for smaller properties, and particularly for new investors.

Hi I'm a new member to Bigger Pockets and really need help.

Larry,  I plan on having much bigger DIY screw ups, so far I've been fortunate, and my biggest loss has been time.

As you build a bigger portfolio you will have more leverage to negotiate for better rates and terms on your management agreements.

For the wholesalers of bigger pockets.

Lastly, I recommend reminding them about the description of the property as many dont read it or get confused and realize they really want 2 bathrooms instead of one, or really need there to be a dishwasher present etc... https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/522...Also the bigger pockets infographic on tenant screening is very helpful and easy to follow:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/2...In the meantime, work on getting good well lit photos of the rooms if possible to present best possible advertising.
