It always depends on the property and/or the principals. 

And it also depends on whether you are disabled or not.If you are just buying a home to live in and not invest, then I believe it's best to put at least 5% down if you can, since you won't need to save money for future down payments.As a general rule, as an investor, cash is king.

They seem to have a good business model and one of the owners is an investor himself which is definitely a plus, but they charge a leasing fee (to find and get a qualified tenant into the property) equal to 1 month of rent, which comes out to an additional 4%-8% on top of the monthly 10% maintenance/management fee depending on how long the tenant stays.

Zelle has its uses, I just don't think its a good option for running a rental business. 

Most people will struggle more with the maintenance and repairs but I was a contractor running a carpentry business at the time, so that was no big deal for me. 

The owner paid $150k in 2003 and was an operating business.

I marketed this property as a business - as it brought in 155K in gross revenues , could go to 180K with some extra work.I see many people who got into the airbnb game 3 years ago trying to unload now, almost at cost.

There are so many experts on here it is tough to stand out, but picking say multifamily or 1031 specifically will help drive a ton of business.

All depends on guest avatar, personal preference, and the ROI an investor is looking for.

As long as there isn't any funny business before closing and you're familiar with the mortgage process you should be fine.If you have questions on the mortgage process, call me or basically anyone on this website.
