My biggest questions are on obtaining financing (through a bank), and the difficulty of securing a private lender,  and how to secure a private lender.

I have seen some landlords have difficulty getting tenants in them unless for a reduced rate.

They each have varying degrees of difficulty getting approved.  

I am trying to determine if my property manager is proficient given the difficulties of tenancy within the city proper.The triplex has only had all 3 units and the garage rented and paid for about 4 months of the 24 months held - that said it has almost always had 2 renters and the garage rented out - like most cities parking is at a premium.

The problem I'm coming across is the difficulty of findings deals that meet the BP standard as a "deal" in my local markets or in the already heated up regional markets.Being from Texas, are you findings potential deals, or are you considering plays with conservative captial growth with an eye to appreciation (dirty words, I know :) ?

I'm also afraid of the difficulty in selling down the road.

You and the two posters above reminded me of this quote from Winston Churchill “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity while an optimistic sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
