Landlord shall have the same remedies for the collection of such costs as Landlord has for the non-payment of rent under this Lease.

I run my entire "empire" using Excel/Sheets for tracking expenses, Apartments.com for online payments, MysmartMove for credit/background checks, DocuSign for electronic signing, and Zillow & turbotenant for posting up listings.

I’ve thought about a million different models but the truth is even if they make sense in theory I’ve come to the conclusion they may be too convoluted to explain, so I will try to keep getting 2.5-3% and if I have to cut commission to gets deals done I’ll do that as well, but I think paying some percentage to sell a home is probably here to stay just possibly at a lower sometimes.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

I would not pay above appraised value for an investment property unless I knew it had some competitive edge that would increase its value considerably (ie. it was a subdividable lot or allowed for other uses that enhanced value that were taken into consideration).

I don't think I immediately need cash, and even I do cash out refinance and get some cash back, I dont' know if it makes sense to get a larger loan amount and higher monthly payments. 3. does amount of down payment matter if I end up doing/not doing cash out refinance?

I think the end result is the same, but more work with new leases every year.Section 8 leases do not allow the 3 months up front payment approach.

Rinse, and repeat....or, you can wait around until you can accumulate enough cash for the next down payment. 

@Bryan Nwokem If your rents are less than your mortgage payment with no other expenses built in then I would not do this deal.

Our Lease Contract doesn't currently say that all payments will be applied to non-rent charges first, oldest to newest, but it also doesn't say anything about how we may allocate the payments tenants make to us.
