I want my tenants' neighbors to love me too, so I put the kind of people in my units that make their neighbors proud to live next door.I am also a committed follower of Jesus, so when we are rehabbing, I pray for the people who will live in the house and pray God will send the right people my way. 

Committing a good month of listening to the BP Podcasts, you will hear many different stories and strategies for financing.

I've said I am big on standards so solid standards and commitment to them will keep you from having to visit the property too often...We should talk about standards what they are and how to set them...I think you hit the nail on the head with that statement.  

Plus the trades will certainly come in handy when you commit fully to RE. 

Starting off in the real estate investing world, i have committed myself to purchasing my first rental property this year. 

If Partner A is purchasing this home as a "2nd home," but actually intends to hold it as an investment property, he is committing mortgage fraud.

Get people commiting to move in when ready by putting up some cash.Show your bank that things are going well, see if you can get better terms, repeat building 2+ units of duplexes based on market need and how your finances are set.... anyway this is what I am planning to do, just working to finalize numbers and researching banks and unfortunately having to educate lenders and others about the value of modular and how they appraise/function the same as stick.if anybody wants to talk, I am very happy to do so.

The owner has been very helpful and is clearly committed to doing good work.

You get caught committing fraud and it will cost you way more than you will ever gain by cutting corners.

One of the tenants was on their first year while the other were on their 3rd year currently committed to a 2 year lease.
