Hello Kyle,When screening applications for the properties that I manage, I always look for:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)I have found this screening standard very helpful when finding tenants who pay on time and treat the property well!

I assumed you'd use HELOC for down payment + another loan for the rest. that is 100% financed. 

At that time, there were public records showing missed payments and multiple distressed properties, not to mention the overall struggles of the student housing market.Even the underlying investment showed major red flags in the PPM which she never disclosed or mentioned to me.

The mortgage payment is $1,000 on each house, so you earn $500 per house or $2,000 monthly.

I'm looking to invest between $50k and $75k as the down payment. 

Meaning if the borrower stops making their payments the investor can lose all of their investment.

I don't know the laws in Australia, but in the states, you can usually get a low down payment loan if you will live in the place and you can do this up to a 4 unit and rent out the rest.

Here’s the situation:Purchase Price: $540,000Down Payment: 20%Mortgage Rate: 7.125% (30-year fixed)Monthly Expenses (Mortgage, HOA, Taxes, Insurance): $3,706Realistic Max Rent: $3,000As you can see, I’m currently short $706/month even with max rent.

Because for a certain type renter it’s just SO easy to continue renting fully furnished rather than having to spend $20-40k on furniture; come up with a down payment on a house purchase; and or worry about repairs and maintenance.  

What's the highest success percentage method to find a previous tenant's new address for this?
