If you plan to hire a property management company, your most likely going to simply be an investor and just get passive income.

Find a way to increase income by $20 per unit per month with 20 units, and all of a sudden you're making the same added profits as if you purchased 2-3 more units. 2) What is the length and depth of your track record (how long have you been at it, how many units do you have)?

You are literally being given a guaranteed 8% return.

If you give money now and they are still in acquiring land and appraisal and you are giving $ before they even start construction I can pretty much guarantee you there is no chance this project is done and sold in 3 years. 

That means that whatever the sum of the Principal + Interest + Monthly Taxes + Monthly Insurance comes out to be, as long as the rental income exceeds that then it will qualify.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with zero or negative relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I'm currently working as a network engineer and would like to start replacing that income with financial freedom in real estate.

Hi Sejin,Are you calculating the rental income based on long term rental or short term rental? 

I'm not certain of my debt to income ratio at the moment, but if I try to mortgage out a property to purchase another, does the rental income I anticipate getting from the new purchase factor into the debt to income calculation?

There are many sports programs out there for youth and adult athletics that could act as long term tenants which would be great in ensuring people actually care about the place and that it produces income.
