Lenders will want a property that is stable...that means decent condition and proven rental income...but it doesn't have to be perfect or even 100% occupied...just have a plan to fill it if this is the case.

@Sardar Mustafa KhanHold open houses for other Agents is a perfectly reasonable strategy in my office residual agents use with the understanding the one holding the house gets all the leads & the possible buyside if someone is interested.Great if you are just starting out since you can build up a list & get used to talking real estate to clients.

We're looking for a remote or virtual individual or company that has rental property/landlord experience, is well-managed, high integrity, and is great at communicating with the landlord.

B) best technology/ease of use.Airbnb is far from perfect but it blows away its competition.Next level control - direct marketing outside of Airbnb  (google adwords, facebook ads, direct marketing to companies). 

@Alan Stalter Perfect!

Pen Fed doesn't do them any more.Google search "investment property heloc my perfect mortgage".

I agree with @David Shelton, @David Green was perfect.

Perfect for a young couple starting out to house hack.. not only could they live for free but probably have a tad of positive cash flow..   

@Matt DarlingI completely agree with @Jay Hinrichs's post, as I am a perfect example of the locals he's referencing.

I would put a simple plan in place and perfect your systems as you gain experience.
