As I settle into the new year with my game plan Im curious to know what Margins investors are looking to receive in this market.

The SST doesn't apply for legal 2-flats so if you want to use FHA it's probably better to target those that maybe also have a non-conforming basement or attic unit.This is why the 5% down conventional loan is a game changer for house hackers.

Play the long game and hold onto that equity. 

She will probably game the system for the next 6-12 months, but that's what you get buying a property with a non-paying tenant in place, in an anti-landlord city. 

I've tried a couple - truepeoplesearch, white-ages, property radar, leadsherpa, batch leads...Some services are better than others, but it is a numbers game and you also can cross check between different platforms.

Good listings are a people game, not anything you have at the bottom of your post.

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that. 

I wanted to get back in the game again but don’t have much in reserves that most if not all HML require.

Mfh is an unfair game because you need a partner to help you with the experience question when getting a commercial loan.
