Are we going to have more investment opportunities specifically in the Montgomery County, Frederick, and Howard County areas? 

— Christopher McDaniel This will be a lender specific question as guidelines are different from HML to HML but generally most lenders would apply it towards the principal balance and the cash to close.

Quote from @Juan Carlos Flores Garcia: Hi BP Community,I’m working on building a long-distance Section 8 rental portfolio, specifically in the Midwest with properties under $100K.

@James Mc Ree  The letter specifically says he needs them but the question would be is it legal for the agency to request them? 

I wish this didn't seem like complete AI because I am interested in learning more about that market, most specifically STR. 

heheI miss the Midwest's "simple" mentality of my common folks.Even tho, as you mentioned the weather can get brutal.It's always a tough gig to do deals from afar unless buying turnkey.Even then, turnkey is not worth it unless the portfolio is big.As soon as you can, move to the market you want to invest in and with time you might become "institutionalized" to it just like I did with Toledo hahaI put Ohio Cashflow on the back burner 3 years ago as I got burnt out on working with investors lolWe only sell from time to time to our existing book of business and if I like the specific investor hahaI list most deals on the MLS and once sold, I clean my hands.No need to babysit the never satisfied and disgruntled landlords expecting retirement from 1 turnkey property...Unfortunately, it is what it is and I ate $#@% for many years before I said enough is enough heheOz Realty has been the bread and butter for us and our main focus since we shifted focus.Crazy that I'm even typing this as I hated PM for many years and considered it just as the "necessary evil" in order to offer a turnkey product.Now, if I could turn back time, I'd never do turnkey and would only do PM hehe.Everything happens for a reason mate.Granted, it took 7+ years to create a lean and efficient PM machine heheI'm in Toledo every month for 7-10 days so feel free to hit me up whenever you are in town.All the best mate 🙏 @Engelo Rumora , haha, a new book would be valid for sure, as things do change fast in this world, looking forward to it.

Must be specific tenant escrow account, collect W9 from tenant. 

I don’t know much about Augusta GA specifically, but we own and manage about 1,000 units across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, and run an investor focused real estate agency that has helped over 250 people buy their first investment property in this region. 

End result is cash flow post brrrr would have been similar to cash flow before the brrr if the units were rented at market rent (they were not apneas market rate at purchase).This is a large example, but I have seen similar stability in cash flow on my more modest brrrr efforts that were refinanced.This may be market specific but seems consistent in my market.
