With 300K you could probably get into a decent 6, maybe 12 unit project, there's a very slight chance that a SFD would contribute to a better cash flow than 6,8 or 12 units a month.

We communicate with all of our renters before the first of each month..that's their chance and only chance to be straight with us and let us know if the rent will be late.

I do think REIA's are the best chance of this happening on an organized level.

What that means is that you agree to purchase the property (you have an accepted purchase and sale contract), provided that the inspection results don't reveal anything serious, the property appraises for the loan amount, and you're able to get financing for it.Some people say that adding these contingencies lowers your chances of buying any particular property, and I can't argue with the logic.

Also when you lock the property up with no real chance of doing anything, it can really hurt the seller.

I've been meaning to make it out to one of the TREIA meetings but just haven't had the chance yet.

The chance of these deals blowing up has increased if not done in compliance.

Just remember that if the REO is not listed with a real estate agent, there is like a 1% chance that the bank will accept an offer.

That way I'm only spending time on properties that have a chance of meeting my minimums.To answer your specific question, I doubt investor's will care much about DCR and Cap Rate as much as their Cash on Cash Return, ROI, IRR, and cash flow.

Theres a chance it might turn a buyer off, but in my opinion it generally helps.
