@Matt LopezNot an economist but smaller banks will be in a lot of trouble, banks will also tighten lending standards making it harder for people and businesses to get loans which typically leads to higher unemployment due to cash flow issuesThis will then lead to softening in housing.

What percentage of the sales price one would expect a seller to typically accept?

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US for example big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding. 

My wife and I are occasional flippers with 4 under our belt and we typically use a heloc on our primary to secure hard money and pay for rehabs.I own a plumbing company I’m just getting off the ground and know the money will be there eventually but could be a while.My mother in law lives in CA (I live in oregon) and they have a few rentals plus their primary that they have 1million plus in equity in.

For example, tell them how you can provide them a stable income over the years without having to deal with tenants, toilets, or trash.

For example, I often see Buyers purchase property thinking there is a $1,000 deposit but then the tenant claims it was actually $2,000 because they paid the last month's rent.

Mid term rentals have been getting more popular due to the recent Short Term restrictions aka "airbnb restrictions" I have a few clients that do MTR to traveling nurses for example, it's not as much $ as AirBnb, but it's more than a long term tenant. 

Typically, I find myself cash flowing a few hundred dollars each month, with an ROI of 4-5% per year when factoring in appreciation.

Example: "I would like to build financial independence through real estate investing.

they do not typically do furnished rentals.Was thinking of renting $1800-$2000 12 mo.
