Hello everyone,Would you share your experience selecting the lender for your first 10 rental properties?

Red key has been good from what I hear but I personally can’t vouch for them and I know they’re being selective in who they decide to work for.

I get phenomenal cash flow (many 20% Cash-on-Cash returns), but have been uber selective about those that I have bought (one foreclosure, 1 FSBO, 2 through the sellers agent that I put under contact shortly after going on the market) and all are well above the 1% rule.

My own experience shows that in some cases Zillow is spot on, in other cases they may have used a monkey throwing darts at numbers and selecting one.Your example makes sense in planned communities where many homes are alike.

We have only had single woman as section 8 tenants, not by selection just has happened to be that way.
