Hello! I'm a first time poster and am looking forward to learning from the community! I'm looking to purchase my first rental property, and my goal is to get a low fixed interest rate mortgage given my circumstances. ...

Is the property in a location that is in demand or has a unique view or access to public transport?

Most unique, I bought the property sight unseen from out of state, which is another first.

In my letter's I used mail merge to create a customized letter given their unique property, their name and their estimated sale price based on comps.

The trick is to choose a name that is so unique that it's easy for the person who reviews names to determine that it isn't deceptively similar to another name or already taken.

@Eric Berkner every property has a unique amount of "hands-on" management it may require.Forget what is in the OM and budget based on what will be required to execute your business plan.Class C properties may need more daily supervision and Class A properties require more prompt and high-quality customer service.A good property manager can make or break the deal so don't skimp on that front.
