@Dan KielySugar Land and Katy are family-friendly suburbs with good schools, a strong job market, and a safe environment, but have higher property taxes and commute times.

Im still doing a market research and gulfport, MS pop up. any additional information about this place regarding landlording, property management and ideal location would help. thanks

I am only working part time now with my w2 job so I do have some extra time on my hands.

I certainly wish it would take less time. 

It doesn't quite remind me of 2004-2008 since the borrowers need to have a history of paying their bills on time and provide evidence of the capacity to repay the debt, for investment properties lenders are requiring anywhere rom 10-25% down depending on the loan amount and documentation. 

Next time don't let them get "several" months behind, you need to start the process as soon as they are late.

thank you in advance for  time and responses! 

It takes a lot of time to get systems and processes in place.

Will I get dinged on the appraisal enough to make it worth changing the furnace ahead of time?

So far I would say it has been a good investment but I don't really know how big I can scale it or how long it will take.At the same time, if there's a big investor looking for someone to help manage their portfolio in NYC or Long Island I would be open to jump on board so I can learn as well.
