I think you are correct on the rents not rising that much but values seem to be in standard 2-3% range.

Hey Michael - From a hard money perspective, 10–20% cash-to-close is pretty standard, but it really depends on your experience and the strength of the deal.

Standard can go (2) ways ELA Express Loan Approval less than 12 days to close or going FHA, VA or Conventional with Rush appraisal and still under 18 days.Biggest part is making sure the deal/loan is discussed in detail with banker, Processor, Realtor, Title company and appraiser cannot drag feet unless you use an AVM.

They don't like you (that's just figurative, they have no idea who you are, but the may be messed up internally) 

You must submit a rent increase request after the intial lease ended to the Authority and follow their procedures, which often means following Fair Market Rent standards.

Maybe the numbers would work for someone else, but my rental standards are a little higher (eg. for me, drop ceilings are alright in a finished basement, not an upstairs bathroom or kitchen.) 

I built my MTR systems so well, I can manage everything while traveling — no emergencies, no chaos.Here’s what I use:-Guesty or Hospitable for messaging-Breezeway or Turno for cleanings-Google Drive for standardized check-in/out docsAutomation is key.

I just came across these posts looking for information on international investing, creative financing and working as a home based estate agency in the UK.

Standard vanities.

Current U.S. standards cap qualified loans at 30 years, so extending terms to 50 years would need legislative changes and new compliance frameworks.
