Doing it on some online website.

Would that be any different than taking a cash out REFI and then putting the cash in a safe place (like a savings account)? 

I love the fact that online acquaintances often translate into real frienships. 

I took photos of the place and put the pictures up online as it was ready to rent it out.

I think there are some online banks that have nice returns but for me I’m not really trying to have a savings account generating interest at a bank but rather in real estate and the money in the bank is only a temporary holding spot

I’ve read horror stories online but also know there are some really great property managers out there.

The guarantor requirements are:1. good credit (700 and above)2. proof of income (min 72 x monthly rent: $144k/y on a $2k/month apt)I often clearly state these criteria on the apt ad online, and I pre-screen applicants on the phone.

I'm browsing properties online for a few different central Alabama locations, but I dont think I'm gonna be able to find a true  deal until I'm back home in person this fall.

I live in West Pembroke Pines and from what I can see we live in the worst market for investing, everything is way over priced unless you start looking in less than safe areas.

We will have 2 kids under 2 and are hoping to house hack a 2-4 unit in a safe/family friendly neighborhood.
