@Josue RamosRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I'm trying to figure out if this house would be a good mid term rental. 

I figured "this has to get better, right?"

The net-to-me margin is roughly 2 percent.  

So I would like to get the opinion of some experienced investors.My goal is to buy (3) three to four multifamilies.I inherited a 3 family fully paid off and own my current home.Between the two I have roughly 550-600k in home equity.  

I'm all about finding problems to solutions and figuring out how to make something work rather than simply conceding that it cannot work.

Lots to be figured out in this deal but let's assume for now that it's priced right for a BRRRR or flip.My wife and I have been looking to move into a house hack in the area, and friend has just sold their house and has cash they're looking to invest in a flip.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

I figured this would be the perfect place to connect with like-minded people, get advice, and explore more resources to guide our decisions. 

The HUD guidelines suggest a certain rent amount, but after inspections, the figure came back significantly lower than expected.Additionally, do you have any general tips for working within the bureaucracy of the Section 8 program?
