There are 3 people that are looking to move in. 2 of them passed background check and income verification.

Plenty of people just move out of their homes after 1-2 years and buy another property. 

Short of asking the seller to carry the note at a lower interest or putting down a much bigger down payment - what am I missing? 

Like do some cleaning job, contacting maintenance people, knowing how to pay water bills etc. these are all the basic work when you become a landlord and you need to know how to manage your property first.

Buying existing rentals and improving it is another story.Ya I hear a lot of the same from people!

A great way to network and meet people in your local community is to attend in person meet ups. 

In this environment how are people doing the deals?

Perhaps I'm missing something? 

But when you meet these subsidized tenants and listen to their stories, you can definitely sympathize for where they're coming from and understand that the program really does help people and the immense need for it in this area.

I am looking for a system where people who would like to buy a property from me, can easily fill out their buying criteria.
