While I am a licensed agent but I do not focus on MLS deals.I've been personally investing in Detroit since 2019 and have 12-doors there now.

Ultimately, the best market for investing under $250k will depend on factors like your risk tolerance, investment goals, and personal preferences.

Some banks really like $100,000 loan amounts.

I have locked up one deal off the application and have offered in person on 2-3 other deals.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

If you are paying in cash, you'd have the bank write a letter indicating you have the capital on deposit or you can also print out your bank statement showing the funds.

We've got a national bank, a local credit union, and a direct-to commercial mortgage backed security.

If you get a bad tenant, the rest of your tenants have to live with this person until you can successfully evict them.

Subto’s are getting called by the banks much more often these days because the banks will make much more money on a higher interest loan.

It all depends, this is why I always review potential client's books what is the best course of action.I personally do not like QBO for real estate (I make it clear in all my posts lol) I just renewed my certification just because most people can't afford the PM software with accounting such as AppFolio and Yardi.
