Nothing drives me crazier than cigarette butts all over a driveway.

Of course, there are other factors but job growth is the most important since that drives population growth (of people that are renting).

I drive a rusty Nissan Altima so mine is 250:1Here's how you can determine your ratio with a fictional example:$250,000 income: $10,000 Camry = 25:1

My recommendation would be to as why these particular extra steps are required so you can understand the logic driving the advisor's recommendation.

So, the total move-in costs (not including pet fees, if applicable) would be $2475, all paid prior to lease signing.Also, we would need copies of the two most recent pay stubs and photo ID for all applicants aged 18+ (I can scan at the showing) to begin the verification process, which only takes a few days.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St, so you can get a “feel” for the neighborhood.

I also get that my current mindset is probably overly negative, so I don't want to be sending that out into the universe and driving people away as my first impression)I am also realistic about what I offer (in the form of investor) is really just money and in 2020 everyone is just flush with money and infinite lines of credit at 3.5%, so it's not like it would have been in 2008 or so.

Some lenders can do drive by appraisals if there's no interior access and some can work with the property even if there's someone living inside.

It's a great way to drive revenue on a SFH, assuming you have the space for it.

We did the deal and I assumed an unbelievable loan of $63 million on 500+ units in the heart of one of America's great cities. 60 yards away is Amazon's office, Whole Foods, Starbucks is walking distance, there are $800,000 townhomes across the street and you have to drive past $2 million homes to get to the property where the average tenant is a professional making five times what they pay in rent.

Max it out and drive the income.
