- ie can one structure the acquisition with fixed rate debt where the property will be “self-supporting” - produce enough income to pay all operating amd debts expenses with a little left over as cash flow - as a protective layer for the inevitable downtown.2.

Finding a property with a garage or convertible income-producing space sub-$300K will be your biggest challenge. 

They think the job is easy, quote too low, find out it is not, and produce low quality to make up the time it takes to actually clean properly. 

Your credit and the income that the property produces will be a big component in how high of a loan to value you can finance. 

Most lenders will require a 15-20% down payment assuming credit is strong and property can perform from a producing income standpoint.  

They are often used to finance large, income-producing properties and offer competitive interest rates and longer loan terms.

I have been asking Scott to produce a one page PDF instruction page on proper maintenance of the DST.2.

When you compare rental prices to actual home prices, or your acquisition cost buying the property to the rental income produced, you'll usually find the ROI higher in Albuquerque.

And I still didn’t base the purchase on the ratio of property to land, but upon the cash flow the property produces.  

Even if it's a nice home, without being able to produce the income your expecting, it's likely going to be a losing investment.
