Hello, I'm looking at purchasing an investment property home and the lender indicated that they need to structure the loan with me renting out the property.

@Chris Clothier yes we are seeing residents be less mobile recently as well (we manage 1000 doors in OKC Metro) as long as the owners keep the increase under 10% they tend to stay and renew.  

i appreciate any valuable info about the loan product !!

I grew up with parents who did realestate, own a few properties and help manage a commercial property. 

Is it worth holding the property for long term appreciation ? 

I am mostly interested in investing in long term, single family, rental properties.

I'd greatly appreciate:1.Phone numbers of investors willing to discuss local market opportunities2.Recommendations for Facebook groups or forums where property owners list their assetsYour insights will help me expand my network and find potential deals.

If a property appreciates at 3%, it is on the entire property, not just the cash invested.

Global Property Guide is a great first resource for international real estate investing, @Brandon Camarillo.

Purchase price: $126,000 Cash invested: $10,000 1 acre property to be subdivided into three lots.
