Hi BiggerPockets landlords,Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm a 26 y/o Fortune 500 software developer who is moving to Austin, TX.I have:- a senior engineering position at my company that I've held for the last few years- a 6 figure income- excellent credit- excellent references- no petsMy one problem is that 6 years ago, when I was a teenager in college, I was charged with possession of Xanax without a prescription.

That is how you will see these type of rentals referred to.

.- I called a title company to help me with the process and they graciously referred me to an attorney they work with.- Using an attorney for a real estate transaction and mortgage structuring has been so easy and very cost effective.- Offering the seller more than they thought their home was worth made them willing to finance the home for 0%.Bottom Line - 1. 

Just for a reference we do charge smaller portfolio owners the full 10% because it is quite a bit of work doing all the reporting on just a couple of units and time does not scale well, however as they grow our fee gets reduced.

I would not recommend trying to rent to locals in those towns, they can't afford 2-2.5K rent a month obviously and a lot of career renters simply jump from house to house in the same community over their lifetime faking income and references. 

They can refer you to contractors, property managers, inspectors.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions I’m here to help as a fellow investor that is probably going through or been through what you are.

It would be even better if you were referred by an active commercial broker.  

What I’m referring to is an agreement that is recorded somewhere, perhaps in the deed transferring the properties, that would be binding on any future buyers.

Ps… for reference, this is my wife’s brother, we have a great relationship and have been married to his sister for 20 years.

Does anyone have any relationships or references for a lender on this amount?
