In the years since 2008, there has been a very steady growth of comfort surrounding stability and the expectation of economic safety. 

If you're hiding just that simple fact, you aren't comfortable enough with what you're doing, and that's a problem. 

I'd like to rent that property out asap as I am already in a comfortable living situation. 

I originally qualified for 680k with my lender two months ago, they are now saying because of the pandemic, they are only comfortable lending me 480K. 

I think it's best to be able to provide an offer on the spot, but YOU need to be comfortable and confident with what you offer.By the way, where did you come up with those ARVs? 

Trying to get some reviews from this company but just found some facebook reviews on their page and not feeling 100% comfortable with that.Any info would help!

@Justin Pace depends on your comfort level, if you aren't comfortable with the buying process and the area you're investing in an agent is probably best, otherwise getting your license is totally worth it.

Yes Detroit is one of the very rare cities that can comfortably deliver on the 2% rule if you have the right team walking with you hand in hand.

.-- Owners provide clean, safe, comfortable housing situations to people who can not afford to buy their own home.-- Owners maintain the property so those who cannot afford to do it have a roof over their head that does not leak (an un-doable repair expense for "The Working Poor"), and replace furnaces so they don't freeze to death in the winter, and replace hot water heaters so they can wash.The working poor cannot afford to buy furnace, let alone the price of installation.There is not a renter/owner problem in the USA, other than what is being artificially gined up.The system works well for both sides.Just my 2 cents. 

I think I would be more comfortable buying my first property in an area where I could have high-quality tenants anyways, & I know that specific town is in pretty bad shape.Regardless, since I posted this yesterday that specific listing I was talking about has been taken down.
