People expecting $200 per door per month in a b class neighborhood while financing with little to no renovation are going to be disappointed.

Just wanted to get peoples opinions about this idea. 

There are many good people under these programs, but likewise there are many looking to sell a sob story.

That trend has continued unabated.Now I see people commuting to Boston from Portland, Maine (!!!)

Some people pull all the equity out of their rentals to buy more, others like to pay cash for them, others pay the mortgages down faster because perhaps they want them paid off when they retire, others just let the tenants pay them down over time.

Sit down anywhere and people would just start talking real estate.

It was my first time going and it was nerve wracking until I started meeting people and it just felt welcoming!!

@Caroline PowellAnother thing .... make certain your selected contractor is very well versed on 203k's.

My two cents: try to select a strategy that works best for your skill set, market, and risk tolerance.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
