That’s when I transitioned to multifamily properties—where owning multiple units under one roof maximized cash flow and long-term returns.To support my growing portfolio of fix-and-flips, wholesale deals, and rentals, I started a construction company.

Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

If you had to pick a market in the PNW to invest in a long-term rental, where would it be?

.: Property managers, how do you collect rent from tenants, keep your management fee, and send the remainder to the owner without it reflecting as if you received the full rental income in your bank account?

We want to get a few rentals up and running and then (if all works well) begin bringing other friends/investors in to invest with us.

It’s a good reminder for landlords to stay adaptable and ready to respond to changes in rental demand.As an experienced loan officer in Georgia, I’m happy to help both buyers and sellers navigate this competitive market.

I also want to learn how to fund my first rental property

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

Charge the tenant for all cleaning and repairs required to return the rental to these same condition as it was given, minus ordinary wear-and-tear.You can't charge full price for a replacement appliance, flooring, or even paint.
