Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

People also have no idea what it means to “complete the rental application yourself”.My rent is right in the middle of comp rentals although its the only one in its close area, a desirable C+ B- central location among similar houses, a tract built in mid-1960s.It’s listed on at least 12 different sites, although Zillow is not delivering so I canceled that one.Out of about 100 inquiries (93% own dogs) I’ve scheduled 4 showings.

Check with the prefab companies you are considering to see if you can get the product/s delivered -- think logistics3.

There's also VA loans if you're military.Good thing about putting 20% down though, is you'll instantly have a decent chunk of equity in the property, making it easier to get a HELOC or a cash out refi.Let me know if you have any other questions about it. 

If you google "Nasvhille HELOC" you should be able to find tons of options instantly.

At the least, we figured, we would see how far we had to go.The result wasn’t half bad:My partner, who is in charge of our operations, poured hours into reviewing our past mistakes, planning the project, and meticulously implementing quality control to deliver this outcome.As we continue to scale, his attention will not be able to settle so singularly on individual projects.
