Here let me save you the click:"Some parents are very very very well off and are capable of making a gift of a house to a kid," says Richard Green, director of the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate.Green adds that his research shows another group that makes up cash buyers: people in the tech industry."

Tile, layout, framing...the thing's capabilities are unreal.

Especially with the big players. 

If only my parents were capable of buying me a $500,000 investment property...

Then today comes and the real me comes out, not the sheep Casey, but the Casey that takes risks, that doesn't care what others think, that knows what he is capable of, the Casey that wants an apartment complex as his very 1st property. 

My best finds so far:Ladder golf setHoverboardAcrylic paint setFull case of wineSize 16 flip flops (tenant was an 7' fringe NBA player)Unused gift cardsPart of their damage deposit for me cleaning up all their junkWhat tax-free landlord treasures have you been gifted?

If that is not something you are interested in, knowing big players in your market is key.

These are for properties in B+/A-Class neighborhoods and the tenant pool should be more than capable of following the process.

Getting familiar with the neighborhoods, would suggest coming to Philly and attending some of the CDC/Neighborhood Association meetings or even Zoning meetings  (See what developments are winning or losing)  Also, being affiliated with HAPCO (Your Philadelphia Landlord Advocate) & Diversified Investors Group (Your REIA in the Philadelphia Market)Also, set up your financial capability up front so you can be more direct on neighborhoods you can afford better not can afford.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

@Chris Williams Have you looked into financing options from places such as SoFi or other players that sometimes can offer better rates than what you currently have given it's at 6.25%?
