You found the right place for information.

As others have mentioned, the virtual accounts you can set up for each property was really intriguing to me. 

So as long as your insurance, property taxes, property management, utilities maintenance, repairs, vacancy, and capex come to $4/mo or less you’ll be fine.

@Raymond Charles Gretz Welcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you the best in your investing journey!!

This involves assessing the investor’s financial situation, investment strategy, and the specific projects they wish to undertake.

HOA just pulled up 4 of my signs this week after courting investor client to buy there. 

Second be very careful if you’re planning to tell the lender that you will be occupying the property then rent it, if they find out you’ll have to come up with all the money.Orlando and kissimmee are very strong markets for long-term rentals ( workforce housing )

I am worried about the risk of identity theft. 

@Aubrey Adams-Thanks for the post / question -I would recommend developing a hypothetical plan  ( purchase price / loan amt needed ) and get pre approved ..this process is free and it will help get you organized and also to educate you  in many ways ..if you never end up buying - no worries and no costs have been wasted 

Take over the rent to own agreement from the existing tenants, or something else?
