A-class areas offer more stable and predictable returns, owing to their typically dependable tenants and lower management requirements. 

@Yang Zeng Welcome to the Bigger Pockets.As you can see in my profile, my business and hub is in San Diego, not far from you, but all our investments for myself and my clients are in well performing markets in the Midwest.We specially in this out-of-state- approach that really requires more than just the properties.I agree that you should keep a reserve and not spend all your funds but I could help you with 6 properties that would pay you about $5K/ month in cash flow or $60K/year based on your available funds while having about $100K reserve.I like to help you see the performance difference between our area in CA and the Midwest.

Go through your requirements, one by one, that you also listed in the ad, and confirm that they meet all of them.

If you have good credit above 740 and have 25%-30% to put down it’s really not a difficult loan process. 8 Units typically will offer a 1.25% DSCR ratio which is required in most cases but the approval is going to be based on the rents.

We haven't yet required or charged for any mid-stay cleanings, but as people are starting to request longer stays, I'm contemplating starting to charge for one thorough clean a the 3-month mark if someone wants to renew.

Am I required to give them my address?

I'm a US citizen but currently living in Israel, and I'm in the process of purchasing a property in Columbus Ohio.My plan is to do some rehab and therefore I want to take a hard money loan which will cover 80% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovation.While talking to the title company, they said there was no problem with me signing with a remote notary.But, the problem is with the lender who requires a wet signutre, and has given me the following options:1.

The issue I find is that when I go to list my units, which are clean and moderately upgraded apartments in Little Havana and Allapattah I literally have 70 applicants in 24hrs via facebook marketplace or through the apartment rental platform my property management software interfaces with (like Apartments.com etc).So when I have 70 people lining up with first, last and deposit with no other middleman or agency impeding the process or requiring inspections or causing delays or requesting additional paperwork be filled out where is my incentive to go the section 8 route?

For anyone who may end up reading this, as a follow up, (1) auction.com ended up not requiring the full $2500 deposit, since my purchase was less than the deposit requirement. (2) It took about 2 months to get the deed, because CHASE had a pre-foreclosure on it at the time of the auction, and so they formally foreclosed and then eventually got the deed, which they then eventually signed over to me.
