Little supply, high demand ... voila, high prices. 

Your tag line says Raliegh, NC; thus, should be some high-priced real estate in that area.Also look for a church or daycare for sale that has been listed for 6 months or more. 

Maybe I just have bad agents   My 2 thoughts on this are1) Maybe you haven't found a good agent, or the right agent for you.2) Maybe you have unrealistic expectations for the market, thus leading to a high number of offers with no deals closing from them.Also, #2 there, doesn't necessarily preclude #1 from being true.

In one of the podcast episodes, I remember them saying that if you are trying to avoid raising rents too high on an existing tenant, you are better off renting at the full amount you can and then giving them a discount on the rent.

My painters (on high-end projects) would usually spray primer and roll 2 coats.

Half of them are below 30 and have never seen a downmarket in their investing lives, and are getting new investors prioritizing the wrong things, with highly risky strategies backed by long strings of "ifs."

I would suggest pushing further on Anderson on how to fill out the form and what to submit, and for presumably the high fees that you have paid them, they should be able to help further. 

Total rents at 100% occupancy across the three are $2900 monthly.I'm thinking because the financing terms are soooo attractive that it may be worth the higher risk that comes with the high PITI?

But their minimums are pretty high for a tenant in common purchase. 

@Jonathan GreeneI agree - I like to offer an alternative option which can be negative and I get plenty of private messages of me being mean, out for people etc.As an example, I am Sorry, but my opinion is if you get 100% financing I think it is ultra high risk especially for someone new to real estate.
