VA Loan Guarantee program. $0 down on the initial purchase, but then $27,000 unsecured personal loan at 7.5% for the rehab.

In many instances a large portion of the rent is almost guaranteed to hit your pocket each month - again, this may not cover the full amount but they are consistent payments coming in (paid by the government).

Putting up more of a DP doesn't guarantee you're getting ahead faster, just because your CF is higher. 

I don't agree with everything in there (i.e. the over-the-top guarantee he talks about isn't something I would ever expect or demand from anyone else, so I would feel completely weird offering it myself), but in terms of summarizing basic effective marketing techniques in a very easy-to-understand and implement manner I felt like this was like 4 or 5 other books rolled into one.Another great one is "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.

Most feel comfortable going the PM route simply because of the fact that everything is taken care of and you're guaranteed to have a person within the locale to take care of situations that may occur; otherwise, there are some tools available to you where you can bring a certain level of automation to that rental management process (ie. automatically syndicating a single listing to 10+ major listing sites, thorough tenant screening with full background checks, digital lease creation, automated online rent collection, and maintenance tracking).

No matter what market you’re in, there are guaranteed to be other competitors broadcasting their talents, taking up ad space, growing exposure, and building business relationships with clients that could and should rightfully be yours to secure.

Many students end up renting in the surrounding areas with [more often than not] guaranteed funding from their programs — this also covers housing costs/expenses.

Guaranteed money, free inspection each year from the Housing Authority, tenants take care of the property ....for the most part pretty darn well because they don't want to lose their voucher.

I believe most lenders will require you to personally guarantee the loan since the LLC is so new.

It doesn't guarantee they're legit and you still have to vette them, but there is so much fraud online now that I personally wouldn't even waste my time trying to vette someone unless I had met them face-to-face and shook their hand first.
