C class rentals become more in demand and are able to raise rent during recessions.

And it's generating high quality motivated seller leads through Google.

Only way to do that, is start sending out mailers to potential sellers. 

Fannie/Freddie have lower caps on DTI.Fannie/Freddie will have Lower PMI versus FHA MIP if your Fico is above 720.FHA 3.5% may have a tougher time getting offer accepted by seller versus Fannie 5% down.

If you doing creative financing (seller-finance/sub-to) you can close in your personal name, and some loans could require that it be closed in personal name (conventional).

I think the pressure I was referring to often came from me wanting to do right by my seller and get the property sold.

With rental property investors, we also share:- Proof of rent paid *some sellers are reluctant to share this until there is an offer presented.- Current tenant's history/profile - Public record information pertaining to complaints, open permits, liens, etc. against the property- Current Zoning of the property and surrounding similar-sized lots- Sales comps- Market stats i.e. average days on market for sales and rentals, vacancy rate- Rental comps including price per square foot (ppsf) reports for recent rentals ..

I have done, $50, $75, etc, and in 2023 and renewals I have increased by $25-35 due to a slower demand and rental prices.I still like to increase tenants rents because I don't want to do any major increases after not doing some in a few years.

Knocked on seller's door and grew relationship with him How did you finance this deal?

The issue is that I bought a home from a distressed seller whose son refuses to vacate property.
