No offense to anyone, I just would rather learn from people who have experienced at least one full credit cycle in this business and know how to operate regardless of interest rates/market conditions.

My 9-5 is in construction as a Heavy Equipment Operator.

I still have my network in Barcelona, but 100% of my operations are in Valencia.Valencia still cheap and you could get 7-8% without putting to much effort.

One other question, though: what kind of high-end working professional goes for coin operated washing machines over in-unit setups?

The house didn’t need much work just some paint and flooring and will generate a little over $300/month profit after expenses.

Also keep an eye out for evidence of any lease violation.... unauthorized occupants, unauthorized animals, tampered smoke alarms, damages, etc.In addition to checking all of the smoke alarm devices, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, appliances, and operation of doors and windows, ask the tenant if there's anything that's not working or needs attention.

We are slowly transitioning more of our operation to this online platform and so far have been pleased.There are other third party companies that will provide the credit reporting service too, but not all are the same.

His entire company is veteran owned and operated and he has had specific classes at his meetings exactly about using your VA loan to its biggest potential. 

You just have to stay consistent with your lead generation.

Small town I suppose that one can get away with operating like this.
