Connecting with other investors and house hackers in Grand Rapids is a great way to learn and gain valuable insights.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with DSCR loans, esentially, we are taking the cash flow of the property, plus your investor expeirence and giving out 30 year fixed rate mortgages. 

I am a property manager, broker, and investor here in Clarksville. 

Some other investors recommend doing a 20-25 year amortization period on the loan which helps cash flow a ton.

This time around I wanted to do traditional real estate and learn all all I can to work with investors and invest in real estate for myself.

First time investor here.

Homeowners and Investors need to stay on top of them and be assertive, (but not unrealistic.) 

If you are looking for properties, and find a good deal, you can sell it, and make a commission, and 2nd bonus is you make investor friends so when its time for you to invest you have partners.

Other than cap rate and cash flow, what other metrics/calculations do investors use to determine whether or not a property would make a good rental?

Millionaire investors are never waiting for the right time.
