Hi everybody,I am looking to purchase my first rental property and I do not think I am ready yet based on feedback I have received from multiple people.I do not have enough money for a downpayment on a conventional loan, DSCR loan.

I don't know much about your market but I will assume there is above average appreciation based on those numbers. 

Cash flow is important to have at the base of your portfolio.

Communication by all parties is key. 

+95% of agents have only done owner-occupied transactions, which are mostly emotional-based.

Based on data from Rent.com It seems that in the ATL metro area , a 2 Bedroom property could rent between $1500 -$1600.

NP. another reason for landlords to base their residency in a community property state if they have a different life expectancy than their spouse. 

I am super new to real estate investing (never invested) so do not know where to start.I am primarily interested in cash flow properties to start.

Right now I am trying to stress to everyone that they need to be able to afford a property based on the long term rental potential even if the plan is to use it as a STR.

Through face-to-face interactions, you can establish trust, convey authenticity and leave a lasting impression that transcends digital communication.
