It also depends on the lender as far as the credit score needed for best rates.

I assist my clients with turnkey opportunities in DFW and other TX markets, if that is something you want to find out more about I'd love to share some thoughts on areas within Dallas to focus on.  

Hi everyone, Hoping to connect with someone who has experience renting to or operating residential care facilities. Purchased my 1st rental property last year in Cleveland, a 2unit MFH with 10beds between the 2 units....

If you plan on eventually selling, central air would add a significant value increase, so you may consider if that's the case. 

.• Prime Corporate Services: $2,800 upfront, plus $100/month (deducted at the end of the year).Both have great reviews on Google.My question is: Am I too small at this stage to go with the more expensive option?

I believe some of their people are likely here on the forums and can jump in, they also had a booth and sponsorship at last years BP con so if you went you may have seen them.I came across the service because I had a client who was going to self manage, and wanted me to lease the units for him, and the property was a mixed use building with his business operating out of the ground floor. 

Starting, you should focus on properties that need light renovations. 

The properties are considered on a separate basis, you can actively participate in one and passively participate in others. 

They used to talk about the 2% rule, which was basically a ruse to get you to buy in the absolutely worst part of town where you got 2% on paper and only on paper.

The only exception is for on-site managers, like you'd find living in one unit of an apartment building and managing the building on behalf of the owner.
