In most states a property management company is required to be a real estate brokerage.

The cheaper homes will cash flow well but will require heavy management and tenant issues.  

They are immensely easier to close and qualify for, and require less documentation.

We require the first month's rent and deposit upon booking and never had any issues from tenants about that.

It doesn't have a first-time homebuyer requirement and it's eligible for duplexes.

Remember if you have no income source, they will need to qualify with their Debt To Income (DTI) alone.Credit Requirements: Good credit scores improve approval chances; both you and the co-signer's credit histories matter.Debt-to-Income Ratio: Typically, a maximum 43% DTI is required, comparing debt payments to monthly income.Down Payment: A minimum of 3.5% down payment is needed for credit scores 580 and above; 10% for 500-579 scores.Residency: You must occupy the duplex as your primary residence for at least a year.Property Standards: The duplex must meet FHA's safety and structural standards.Alternatives: Consider other loan options like conventional loans or first-time homebuyer programs if FHA isn't suitable.Best of luck,KC 

@Tim Ivory would you be willing to share the actual documents required to complete a subject to deal?

While it is ok for a real estate brokerage to charge this fee, it is never required.

Have also modified booking requirements to where I mostly host guests for 7+ day stays.
