Check out my post here to see my experience.

Does anyone have experience working with DSCR lenders that would finance a property like this?

I encourage tenant to collect from PM all costs associated with the wrongful eviction and encourage them to post their experience with this PM on social media.  

Does anyone have experience, advice or critique of using Ipostal or Incfile or any other virtual business address? 

Does anyone have any experience with MTR's in Wichita, KS.

It is a legitimate business, but that doesn’t mean you have the experience, skills, knowledge, time, dedication or capital to be successful.

I am in South Carolina also and have extensive experience dealing with purchasing and selling properties with title issues.

Do you have any experience and advice on working with this type of market?

As a hard money lender who works with many investors in the Portland area, I can share some insights on maintenance costs for multifamily properties in this market, though individual experiences may vary:Lots of investors report a slight decrease in maintenance costs during winter months, bc of:- Fewer landscaping needs - Less wear and tear on HVAC systems (as heating is generally less intensive than summer cooling)- Reduced tenant turnover in winterWinter-specific issues can arise:- Potential roof repairs due to heavy rain or occasional snow- Gutter cleaning and maintenance to prevent water damage- Heating system repairs or maintenancePortland-specific factors:- The mild climate helps reduce extreme weather-related maintenance issues. - Older housing stock in some areas may require more upkeep. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!

You still need to put at least 10-25% down depending on experience for a hard money loan.
