In my case, though I was initially very worried and cautious, the remaining family member turned out to be a great tenant.Month to month is not a bad spot to be in, given the circumstances.

I had better luck with traditional business lines of credits with banks.

Not high earning 90-120k. 27 years old. 700 credit score. 

If you keep failing inspections... well, there are plenty of landlords happy to take HUD's checks instead of running credit reports.My advice if you do Section 8 anywhere is to hire a property manager who is genuinely comfortable and experienced with vouchered housing.

I have since then increased my net worth to over 100k invested and completely debt free with a credit score of 745.

We negotiated 15k in closing cost credits along with a washer/dryer and fridge How did you finance this deal?

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 did feel bad and wanted to help her.

Zillow or Apartments.com have credit and background check tools.

These are the properties we see investors have the most success with (some quitting their day jobs from the cash flow).Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/doorAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C+, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties where the condition isn't what it appeared to be and/or the tenants never pay rent.
