Some lenders do have minimum credit scores to access these loan types, but it is the exact same qualifications for income and assets as non renovation loans. 

Those "good contractors" usually have the lines of credit or means to pay for supplies up front if they know they will be paid on time and are not desperate for a deposit to go get the supplies.

Assessing brokers based on their transaction history and success in the market carries more weight than simply focusing on the highest price offered.

DLP lending fund and DLP preferred credit fund = In solo 401k (roth or traditional) because they are tax inefficient.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

I do not use Rent Ready, but I know that it is a perk of my pro membership here and I am considering setting it up to help my tenant establish credit. 

I use Stessa for accounting, I love it, it links right to my bank account/credit card accounts and I can assign purchases to different properties and units of the property for multi-unit properties and at the end of the year I have a simple report to give my tax professional 

Some other banks will tell you 40% to manage your expectations but if you have a good credit and a the deal makes sense, the down payment shouldn't be above 30%.As to the managing of properties, if you can self-manage out-of-state in the US, there are no reasons as to why you couldn't do it internationally too and some investors do.

makes sense. so i actually did a 2-1 buydown FHA, i have a 800 credit score and locked in a 5.875% in today's market which is pretty damn good IMO... so the first year ill be at a 3.875% with about a $2350 monthly payment including prop tax/pmi/morg insurance/home owners insurance. lease is locked in for a year at $1400 a month which makes me only have to pocket roughly $1000. the way i see it, its cheaper than rent or mortgages in today's world!...

Be nice to get them come down in price or give me seller credits.
