But MTR is a great equalizer.

All things being equal between two areas, if cap rates are similar, but one area is likely to have more appreciation in the future, that is something I would take into consideration, though.

If the hot tub you have is hard to keep clean (and keep in mind: the hot tub looking clean is equally as important as it actually being clean), or if it breaks down in the middle of a guest's stay, it can easily cost you in the form refunding part/all of a booked reservation, or lead to your listing getting bad reviews. 

Or would they be equally content with paper assets in the future?

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

And also, pricing at 7% with that low of a FICO is highly unlikely, unless I am missing something here@Robin Simon I'm not familiar with the quote but confirming our minimum FICO currently is 640 however if there is a partnership (multiple full joint and several recourse guarantors) we currently take the higher of the two median FICOs if equal ownership % Also - 7.625% is certainly in our ballpark currently - doesn't seem unreasonable with our rates right now! 

Make sure you understand their plan for getting your money back and how they aim to provide returns.Staying informed is vital for newcomers—learning about the market, connecting with other investors, and maybe starting with smaller investments to get your feet wet.

@Ko KashiwagiHi Ko,I hope to answer the question you are asking.I did qualify for the Triplex solely based on my W-2 which has since gone up a bit.Because I live in it, but the other 2 units are tented, I was able to depreciate 2/3 of all CapEx and OpEx (units are equal in size).The rental income covers about 81% of my monthly mortgage payment.One lender has told me, they need a 2-year rental income history on my taxes.
