The rents in Atlanta don't support such an interest rate.I'm trying to implement the BRRRR technique (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat).  

For what little my 2 cents counts, I don't bother with credit checks, but each his own.I do my own due diligence, I pull court records - did they pay their speeding ticket, how much child support is required per month (Are there arrears?)

Can't even believe a resource like BP exists - there is so much valuable information here and such a supportive community. 

What I would suggest is if you're going to give advice please make sure you do so expressing the situation and the qualifications that support the statement. 

I might accept a B+ multi family in a great location with indicators of growth at a lower rate of return, whereas I would demand more from a C class in a less healthy area.

And Houston property is appreciating in value at a very healthy rate (we may approach double digits this year)  and has for the last couple of decades.

Watch out for crooked contractors, they can be terrific up to a point, (when you meet them)  and then  flip to totally bad and turn into crooks (even with the best recommendations) You need to have a healthy degree of suspicion at all times and protect yourself.  

Unfortunately I could not attach the document because it's not supported by pdf but I can e-mail you the flyer as well.Best of luck to everybody in all of your endeavors.

@Marcus Durant,The CMAs will help you determine what the market will support.

For Example, my W2 job nets our family around 62k a year, but the bank still took into account the child support I receive, and that doesn't show up on a tax return.
