Tenant screening and expense tracking has been solid.

For investors using DSCR loans, I’m curious about your preferred minimum DSCR.
Do you stick to 1.1, 1.2, etc.?
What ratio gives you peace of mind in today’s rental market?

Personally - I would recommend looking into the midwest.

You either need to meet those thresholds personally or partner with someone who does.It’s also crucial to understand the difference between recourse and non-recourse loans:Recourse loans: You’re personally on the hook.

I'd ensure that the PM company is doing solid work with repairs & tenant screening. 

I've invested since 2008, and after building my personal portfolio to a solid place have decided to focus my team on helping others do the same.  

Attend real estate investing seminars and workshops, either in person or online, to gain insights and tips from experienced investors.Additionally, strengthen your network of reliable contractors, real estate agents, and financial advisors.

It really depends on how much capital you have to purchase and renovate, and what the ARV of each property is.Investigate your local market by visiting properties in person to get a sense of the market. 

Solid systems.

The Midwest is really solid right now for investors who want cash flow and stable long-term growth.
