I am currently looking at buying a new construction home as a long term rental property. sales price $214000. first my lender told me I can do 0 down. and I am really excited about this deal. but later he told me that am not qualified for 0 down because of my income. the other option is that I can do fha with 3.5% down, 6.125% interest rate. cash to close is $14000. my monthly payment is around $1575-$1590.it can at least rent for $1700 as a long term rental property.

A lesson learned in this process so far is that adjusting rent is important specially considering the increases in taxes when going from 4% to 6%.

Taxes are reappraised every year and if it is not your homestead, your property taxes can go up without limit.You have to really know the market and not just what prices seem to be.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with zero or negative relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
