Here are some tips I have picked up as I close on yet another property this week:CABLE/INTERNET: In this area, none are outstanding but the most commonly available is Spectrum.

Good afternoon,Looking to Buy & hold :   i’m looking to pick up rentals to hold long term… Need a portfolio lender who lends 80% of the price with very minimal closing costs and reasonable rates.

Just pick up your head and get working on a solution.

That price point seems more like a B-class property which may not give you as high cash flow as a C-class but it may require less oversight.If I were in the position you are in, the first thing I would do would be to reach out to other investors in the area who are doing buy and hold investments and I would take them out to lunch and ask them which local banks work with investors the best.

I wanted QuickBooks online, but if you want the class tracking feature, it's $60/m!

Then if we do have a bad downturn, I  will be doing the foreclosing instead of getting foreclosed on, and picking up properties at pennies on the dollar. 2)  for equity investments,  avoid short and medium-term debt.  

I'd say it's much better so start from zero with no debt, it'll be less stressful and at least you will have the knowledge you learned in those classes.

Working class neighborhood next to a plant or factory, maybe? 

How would one classify Class A versus B/C ? 

The neighborhood is mostly populated by middle class and military families that work on base or at the local saw mill and it is only 12 minutes away from base allowing me to potentially tap into the military commuters community.
