Most of the big name brands want no part of property management.

Add the monthly cost of keeping the website fresh and updated for SEO, adding new content to keep prospects coming back, and when volume warrants paying people to answer live calls and filter through the calls.  

Sense check on the rents of my units: 5 BR 3 bath coach house with 1 parking spot ($2,500), 5 BR 2 bath duplex down ($2,450), 3 BR + den 1 bath unit with brand new kitchen, plus parking spot ($1,450).

Trust me, some brand new contructions buildings are in way worse condition after 2 years than an unpermitted flip.

I am brand new here and truly to real estate investing. 

Bigger Pockets is a breathe of fresh air in a society where branding and marketing are overplayed. 

And very important: most of the fresh water in the world.Also, MN has become landlord-unfriendly.

Because done-right, you can double that portfolio, get into a fresh 0-cap-x cycle for next ~5yrs, leverage for sub-market rate on leveraged capital, AND get cash-flow very rapidly thanks to ~40% down positioning. 

Those are easy to finance, and the financing is solely based on the properties income using a DSCR ratio for qualification.I would look for a property like this one, https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5810-21st-Ave-Kenosha-WI-...Lets say you could buy it for $100k, and its $50k in rehab, and ARV will be worth, $200k.When you do the rehab, make sure all the mechanical systems are brand new, then you will have relative few repairs for the next 3-5 years.I can get you a loan for $90k purchase, and $50k, rehab, once its finished you can refinance into a 30 year fixed rate loan between 6.5-6.8%, and cash flow.
