I'd talk with a lot of different people including other investors, your CPA, your estate-planning attorney, and others. 

After that, in Cleveland/Columbus and Indianapolis areas.at this point it seems the easier way its getting the first couple of deals under conventional and then going with dscr.its just seems weird to me I need to own a primary residence in order to have dscr( I live in LA where prices are crazy), and wondering now how people that dont live in US how they invest in the states. 

Basically, we call our brother n law to go remove them. 

Hi Braedon,Thank you very much, to be honest, the place where I started the business is what boosted the portfolio but with hard work, commitment and focusing on great service toward customers and owners alike. if you do a great work, then people will spread the news among their group and they will call you. 

Most people I've asked have never heard of it, but surely this is the place to get more info on it.

It's also much less common in the commercial real estate world for sellers to fix things prior to close of escrow. 3) Of the remaining 5 out of 1000, 4 out of 1000 is a hyper conservative estimate for fallout from people getting fired while in escrow, taking out car loans, that sort of stuff.So, yeah, 1 in 1000.

If your rent would be somewhere closer to 1% of the replacement value, the long term capex picture would look differently, but that's obviously not realistic in the Walker Square area.I know this is not what you want to hear, but case in point at one of our workshops I had an investor who has owned a sizeable D-class portfolio for almost 40 years, self-managed, self-repaired, re-leveraged to pay for capex - and he said he has basically nothing to show for in terms of retirement, so he has to keep working it.Food for thought.

I can look to see if there are bars on windows, graffiti everywhere, how well people care for their lawns, etc.

There are calculators online but make sure you are familiar because I get a lot of people call me because their loan officer failed to run the numbers and they are getting ready to lose a deal or earnest money.If you want to go FHA you can always put more down but I would take a look at Fannie Mae as well for High Balance areas.  

We always recommend investors pick an area with little STR regulations that draws them and is more of a natural element people want to explore and see.
