@Vanessa Lule I think your biggest hurdle is getting someone over the barrier that you have limited investing and life experiences.

However, be prepared for limited inventory, higher competition, and possible compromises.

This increased demand is in areas that all ready have limited supply.Since the rates started to rise, my appreciation forecast has been conservative (as I have indicated in numerous posts) for my San Diego market (I have been underwriting at zero appreciation near term) and fortunately for me the market out performed my forecast.  

I used an attorney to file for eviction and we had the court date towards the end of October.

The town of Shandaken has some pretty strict rules regarding STRs, requiring a "absent owner" STR to be owned for a year before it can be used as an STR, and also limiting the number of STRs to 100 properties.

Information including but not limited to: - Median Sale prices for different property types (SFR, MFR, Condo/HOA, etc.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

I come across people with limited credit history and/or no score.

Cash has no limitations or second parties that can capsize the deal.

I have equity on it and yearly i get around $10000 as rental income but the property is 1989 build and i am assuming that since its very old property the equity gain would be limited.

They could have owned the home for many years and if homesteaded, are limited to up to a 3% increase each year.
