Hi @Eddie Pietschmann - more than happy to provide information on our DSCR program.

I would just use online free tools for application, screening and rent collection.

Finding someone that is trustworthy that will do all of that while you are living out of area, and providing money and the lot has value.

From their site on disputing reviews:Reviews should be relevantReviews must provide relevant information about the reviewer’s experience with the Host, guest, stay, or Experience that would help other community members make informed booking and hosting decisions.

I'm aiming to make a well-informed decision that not only benefits me as an investor but also contributes positively to the community and provides value to local students.

I understand that I should have a separate bank account from my personal checking/savings, but based on my research, this first deal won't necessarily provide cashflow with me living in one of the units (it will when I move out).

I would also encourage you to source leads through a software like TurboTenant which will streamline the process, in conjunction with the handouts found in Brandon's book, and likely provide a better applicant pool as your listing is automatically published to multiple rental listing sites.

Example: providing comp/s which are updated similarly to yours, but may be older sales or in a different neighborhood, and discussing why they should be used.

To provide some context, she initially approached our company to manage her HOA.

Investors use debt to get into assets that can provide cash flow and/or appreciation.
