that will help you A LOT in qualifying for a larger loan.  

These lower end rentals take more time, energy, and funds.

There's a lot of competition from larger complexes offering a free month of rent that compete directly with you for tenants.

Also set up a Reg D private equity fund to raise capital to be able to purchase larger pools and expand our reach.Bob

Thanks in advanceHi Ronald,Great post.My experience has lead me to believe that the best deals can be bought in colder months.There is less competition and larger discounts are granted by sellers.With that being said, a good deal can come along anytime.The key is to have the cash and be able to snap it up instantly.Thanks and have a great day.

I do not invest in flips etc. but I do know with home markets up there is a bunch of larger projects and also retail jobs for contractors.Larger means more steady work for them and retail means more money.People who buy houses to rehab and hold or flip always want something done on the cheap.

From a conversation yesterday we may have larger fish to fry.

While local investors and larger equity players compete to acquire aspects in their respective spheres, debt capital has also become more abundant and competitive.

If you buy it, the best is to put a larger deposit down and tell the seller you want it vacant upon closing. 

To be honest, I was originally looking in Milwaukee but most the properties I saw needed quite a bit of rehab but I would like to gain a little more experience taking on a larger project.Do you have any suggestions for Property Management Companies?
