I'm navigating the process of purchasing a rental property for the first time and would love to hear the forum conversation insights.

Leveraging an owner occupied loan locally most of the time will take far less cash. 

This is my first auction purchase, so any insights or advice from those familiar with this process would be appreciated.

@Mesturah ShittuIt's fantastic to hear about your success in real estate so far, growing your portfolio to 10 units and $5.5M in such a short time.

It's time to scale back and stay low key. 

From a cleaning perspective, I can understand why any landlord would want to use a contracted cleaning process, no matter how clean the unit was at the time of move-out. 

They fund all their loans first before crowd funding.

It could be he is lodged and charged after which you can take possession based on abandonment/non-payment.It's always a good idea to use an attorney but if you spend the time, read the laws it's a pretty straight forward process to evict on the grounds you stated.  

This is all too common and you aren't the first person to be told this...

Many times the applicant will tell or show you what they are supposed to receive, BUT many times they haven't actually been receiving that money like they are supposed to.
