Hi MichaelFor a seller-financed deal, especially for a multifamily property like a six-unit or larger, a typical down payment could range from 10% to 20%, depending on the terms you negotiate with the seller.

Joint ventures can be a win-win situation for real estate investors and private lenders, but success hinges on trust, clarity, and mutual respect.

What is your price range/down payment amount?

Both Ecobee and Honeywell are great options for smart thermostats so you can remotely control the temperature settings and set temperature ranges. 

In Ohio you can find a lot of single family in the $100-200k range or 2-4 units in the $150-400k range that do pretty well cash flow.

You want enough so that a potential law suit would go away if the insurance paid out.Best thing is to highly maintain your property and treat guests with respect so that no one would ever want to sue you.

Common respect.

You want a manager who respects that this is your asset, not theirs, and keeps you in the loop.

Showing them that you are aware that this is their space and that you are an intruder (landlord or not), can set them at ease by showing such signs of respect.
