BUT, it's something I didn't do on my first two multifamily syndications (168 unit and a 250 unit) and I figured if you don't currently do it either then it would help you out when raising money. 

And in turn, they gave you a loan against your baseball card. 

But I feel like it will pull in people who want to be near the Tosa strip on 70th & North so I'm hoping to push to B tenants in the next couple of years and really raise the rents and value.

@Steve Rozenberg raises good factual evidence.  

Make sure you ask a lot of questions to your lender when it comes to FHA financing, in my view eyeing a property is one thing and raising capital or financing that house is another, they both are two different battles to be fought before you close on the house.Good Luck to you. 

Hi Lakeem, I think gaining credibility is a tough game for anyone at any age, but here is my advice based on trying to gain credibility to raise funds for myself1. have a nice, clean professional website and a email address that goes to your domain name and not some gmail address, put up past project on the site so people will know you've done projects1b.

. (~4-6 bedrooms here).B-level: Similar criteria to A-level but without the custom built homes, 2-income families can afford to live here and raise a family, backyards for the kids, 1500-2000 sq ft houses (~3 bed/2-bath homes).C-level: Majority of houses under 100K, visual repairs needed in this neighborhood, 1200 sq ft average, houses close together, some properties worn down, grass not cut, porch awnings sagging, concrete stairs crumbling a bit.D-level: Struggling neighborhoods, garbage on the streets, bars on the windows, higher crime, crowded areas, downtown city area, wouldn't want to walk around here at night.F-level: War-zone, "get me outta here" property, makes you nervous to enter the neighborhood even in daylight.That's my basic approach when I think about properties and what areas make the most sense to invest in.

Since you had repeated issues, I would raise hell about how that interfered with and interrupted your ability to live a normal life.  

The rents are also almost twice what I rent my 2BR/2BA condo for.Question: Would you be concerned about increased rental supply or be excited for the growth of the area and possibly raise the rent to get closer to the new market rate?

Those materials are outdated and come from someone who hasn't wholesaled in year, if ever.They all tell you to do the same stuff with a slight variation - letters, yellow letters, post cards, band it signs, etc.
