The tenant screening process should be consistently applied to all potential tenants and is analogous to the underwriting that all investors have gone through when seeking a loan.

Thank you .2 more questions - 1) assuming I can’t qualify for 0 down payment, would it be a wise or unwise idea to take money from my retirement account (penalty free) for the down payment?

Only slightly higher rate than a personal mortgage with 25 year AM and no prepayment penalty.

Hello All!  Please share any recommendations for a thorough home inspector. I'll need the inspection performed this Thursday 9/2/21.
Thanks in advance for sharing!

Most people will be impressed by someone your age who is eager and enthusiastic (but not entitled) Seek out professionals in the industry and show them that you are passionate and willing to do anything to learn, and you will find mentors!

I am finding that these properties are currently operating as either a triplex or a quad, but an inspection being done as part of the financing would trigger a report where I (the buyer) would have to deal with the penalties.

I would probably tell them that I won't be renewing and I would offer them an early departure without penalty as long as they give me XX days notice in writing.

I believe all paid an early release penalty of 1 to 3 months of rent.

The benefit to being on your side of the table is you can explore multiple markets...it's really about networking and finding a local firm/agent that works with investors (and invests themselves- critical)...to be honest, your agent should provide every connection you need to get your deals done...from start to finish...the agent is the center of your investing universe...no need to seek out other connections, really.And despite a general discontent for wholesalers, top tier investor agents follow the wholesale market and do a portion of their business off-market.
