I plan to buy a new property in May by putting 5% down and renting out my current home.

You may not need to visit each property you buy in that area though.4) Unless you are buying Class A turnkey, you should have a PMC.5) See below copy & paste info:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

.- Women are buying more homes.

Just those residing in the home

It's a different business model than the typical broker-investor relationship.

As much as I can I try to keep my clients out of serious foundation repair as it is typically not a one time repair, but an ongoing issue over time. 

Hi Jacob, There are DSCR and Hard Money Lenders that will finance a manufactured home as long as it is not in a rural area, and there is no land lease.

These products allow you to purchase a home that may need some work and roll the renovation costs into your mortgage. 

That begs the question are you seeing similar in your markets with either single family homes existing or new construction?
