@David Melton

The answer is there are lots of places that are great to invest and by the numbers might not be any different from the other.  The key is to find someone that YOU are comfortable working WITH and not just looking to sell you something.  There's plenty of those guys that just sell you and forget you.  Look at the numbers and ultimately buy a person with a property and their SYSTEM and don't worry about the property.  The numbers won't lie and as long as they are the same as any other property you will be in a good spot.  If you want to chat live over the phone let me know and I will be glad to give you any help I can.

The first deal is always the scary one.  My situation was similar to yours.  I never expected to actually get all the pieces in place and the next thing I new I bought a house.  The things you need to look at are the numbers.  Don't let someone talk you into anything at first visit just because he says it's a good deal.  Tell him you need to see a copy of the lease for the tenants in place and prior to closing you will want to see proof that they really have paid what he claims they did.

Second you will want to be able to identify any problems with the house.  If you know how to find them you're good.  If not try to take someone with you that can identify what needs fixed and have an idea what it will cost to do so.  If neither of those options are available use your phone and common sense.  Think about where you live and if something looks old or broken or not to the standard of what you would want to live in take a pic and make notes in a notebook then share with someone that knows rehab to help you with costs.

Finally if the tenants are there ask them.  Tell them straight up that you are potentially going to buy their house and that the only way you are happy is if they are happy.  The only way that works is if the house is the way they like it.  Ask them "if I were to buy this house, do you want to stay?  If yes show me everything that you don't like now and would like fixed."  They will show you every little defect because they assume you are there to help them and will love you.  Keep in mind many things they show you will be preferences not necessary repairs.  Things like not liking the color of the tile or paint isn't required repairs.... take those things in stride, listen, but not deal killers.  You don't have to fix those and they probably stay.  If you do fix them they love you and pretty much just gave you permission to raise their rent next renewal period.

I hope this helps and good luck

@Federico Gutierrezthat still tells us nothing. 20-30% down of what price?  What's the noi?  What's the address ?  Why is this not in the market forum?  This all starting to sound real shady or at very least like amateurs hour
