Keep documents on a running basis to make loan applications as easy and stress free as possible.  1000% agree with this Really appreciate you chiming in — it always carries more weight when it comes from someone on the lending side.I see the same thing with new investors all the time.

Check the appraisal approach used.For small multis, the income approach should be weighted heavily.At $3,650/mo rent, even conservative cap rates often justify a higher value.4.

A sauna + steam shower is a great way to stand out without a hot tub, guests love spa-style upgrades, and they boost photos.For the adventure cabin vibe, add practical “experience” touches: a gear wall or mudroom area, boot warmers, trail maps, a small repair station, or a cozy reading nook.

@Erik Estrada, that .25 example is wild — definitely an edge case, but great reminder that commercial leases can dramatically shift the real coverage, even if they don’t help with qualifying.In today’s market, creativity and compensating factors carry weight, but the underwrite still needs to make sense.

In addition, as a PMC we deal with nonprofessional owners that NEVER read their contracts and feel like they can do whatever they want with their property(s) :(So, PMCs need language in their contracts that protect their rights and force other professionals to also recognize those rights.One last note, unfortunately, it's not uncommon for a listing agent to try to strong-arm an existing PMC and throw them under the bus for anything & everything in their ruthless pursuit for a sales commission. 

I represent a lot of buyers and I do communicate the value of turnkey - its worth about $20/ft hard cost, and about 2 months of mortgage payments/opportunity cost and whatever you value dozens of hours of your own time.Strong rental history is good but I do not place a ton of weight on that. 

I’ve found that self-managing can be a great learning experience, especially for newer investors who want to understand the ins and outs of property management firsthand.That said, once you start scaling or move farther from your rentals, a good property manager can absolutely be worth their weight in gold.

,Oh man… the trash can story just made me gag a little reading it.

New to the game here, and just finished reading some notable books that sparked my inspiration to be a part of this!
