In addition to being new to RE, I live and work in Asia so I will have to rely heavily on a property manager.

Louis over the next 5 years with the talks of a tech boom, so my company is looking heavily all over from Kirkwood to Chesterfield and everywhere in between.

The 1 - 10 comes from some factual research (ie crime stats, school quality, transportation, etc) but it is also largely, heavily influenced by how I feel when I walk or drive through the area at daytime and in the evening.When I am really conflicted about a particular rating I sometimes add a + or - modifier to the letter, or use a decimal for the number.

If that's not heavily used in your area you should reach out to your prospective tenant base and ask them how they're searching for apartments.

Another downside, is residential lending is heavily regulated.That being said, becoming a doctor was never on my radar.

You are unlikely to get state specific legal advice here, and also unlikely to afford an attorney for a deal this small.Your best bet as suggested above is a heavily discounted pay off.

I do not have time for flakes that jump all over creation and do not know what they are doing or even know if they qualify to purchase.The other brokers know my clients will close the deal because I heavily qualify them and get the heavy lifting out of the way upfront.

Excellent cash flow above expenses that would push me over my goal for annual income from "passive" investments so it is a big deal I want to do and willing to invest in heavily, but also want to have the best strategy and know who to go look for about financing it.Assuming a std 25% down requirement, I can afford it, but would be maxing out our investment capital (thus no new projects for a while or not with cash anyway, I do an occasional rehab flip here and there).

The group offering the course invest heavily in the Baltimore, MD area, but I would like to focus on DC and Northern VA.
