There is high demand for rental properties so as a result rent growth is strong.

Would highly appreciate any help/tips!!!

00% agree with chasing high caps and cash flow.

@Jordan King you can do facebook market place but they don't always read the ad and the quality of renter may need a bit more screening before you show the place.

There's a lot of risk and it's highly competitive today.

You'd need to make sure the property is in rentable condition and that the rent will be high enough to debt to cover.

Sight unseen and going to BP for GC contacts for a F&F, that's a high level of courage! 

It really comes down to the market, and what the property value is in that area on the low and high end to see if your return will come back. 

Real estate continues to be high where I am located and when I calculate the mortgage payment with 20% - 25% down, it only breaks even with the rent I could collect. 

It's like being a novelist and people write a review that they never read the book but don't like the genre (happened to me- better to understand that some people are negative and walk with your head high).
