@Trevor Ewen  I'm sure it's just me but as a buy&hold investor, I'm focused on the performance numbers of the property and not concerned at all regarding tenants. 

To overcome this obstacle, you may want to look for a non performing building with a motivated seller.

Any software you use, needs accuracy, booking, consistency, dedication, education, reporting, analyzing and more.

Homes from $80k - $100k might have just a little more but to get consistent yearly appreciation you have to look at the over $100k mark, even in the $120k+ range.  

What he probably meant is the average borrower usually sells the home or refinances within 5-7 years after a purchase of a home so paying points often times is not the best way to go unless if you can really know beyond a reasonable doubt that you'll be in that property longer than the "break even point," in terms of months/years.escrow fee is dependent on local area companys they usually consist of a flat 250-500 fee Plus $1.xx per every $1000 sales price or other type of variable fee calculation model.FHA streamline refinances "can," be offered with no points and often times with sufficient lender credit to pay all closing costs as well but your loan is a 20% down conventional no ?

If it would have been a consistent problem, it would have been fixed a long time ago, but the technician could not pin point exactly what was causing the breakers to flip, and because it would only happen once a month it was impossible to blame it on the wiring at that time.In Sarasota and most of Florida you can easily screen tenants online.
