In reality, their job is to try to trick the Realtor or landlord into saying or doing something that they can claim is discriminatory. 

I am still unsure how accurate it is though against owners reality.

I think you would be best farming the rental to a property management co to be arms length from rent collection and possible eviction.Its a sad reality, Good samaritans helping family, friends etc get screwed alot.The safest scenaroi is if they moved out and rented something short term. 

But in my case reality hit and in 4 months of submitting offers I still don't have a lead. 

The market is brutal right now: we have less than 2 weeks of inventory, March saw an almost 7% price increase from February and ~20% from last March.

Brutal honesty please

However, If you invest in these very cheap D-F properties, reality often underperforms the paper proforma returns for a couple of reasons:1) Tenant class is lower, leading to higher turnover costs, increased risk (especially in COVID) of non-payment issues2) Capex costs. 

Being 19 years old and having friends who are just now graduating high school it is easy for me to make excuses for not starting, but in reality, I have been saving a large pool of money for the past two years and reading lots of books on real estate.

I understand that many people underwrite with a general number for each property they analyze, but the reality is that each building will require different maintenance budgets.If you look at the macro state of affairs' in the Bay Area, I don't think the supply of properties will catch up to demand anytime in the near future.

I thought I could start off in the east subs, but quickly was brought to reality due to my all in budget, so now I’m looking in Detroit, but struggling to find a house that makes sense.
