Look at the fantastic CAP rates you will be getting on a SFR based on the provider's pro formas.

And this using a 203K FHA loan in the brutal market of Boston, on the east side of the Port Norfolk bay area.Facts & Numbers:2 beds & 2 baths on each of the 3 unitsPurchased for $655K @ 5% down-payment and a generous dose of 203K closing feesTaken a 30K cushion for the 203K streamlined rehabLocked in 4.25% @ 30 year interest rateAppraised at 750KThe numbers are certainly not the exquisite definition of what a ground-breaking deal stands for, but they certainly fare decently well in this seller's market where cash investors rule, the inventory is constantly challenged and most properties are getting sold for over asking price, taking advantage of the current interest rates, the Everett Casino construction, and a few other speculative but pragmatic plays.Just like most everyone else that was not raised or surrounded by real estate professionals from a young age, this deal was pretty much riddled with small mistakes here and there, from neglecting the fire department smoke and carbon detector regulations, being over-optimistic on the underwriting guidelines, underestimating the cost opportunity due to all sorts of processing delays, and you name it.Currently free from tenants, the expectation is to add value by rehabilitating the under-developed basement, adding 2nd and 3rd floor balcony decks, and a variety of practical and aesthetic fixes.

@Jonathan Twombly Fantastic advice re: following large trends as opposed to small events.

These rules are guidelines at best and don't fit all situations.

I get that and fully respect it, but if there's a lender out there that will allow us to get the deal done that would be fantastic.

It's one of the areas in the state where you can still get a fantastic ROI! 

Can someone please help explain guidelines for apartment loans.I just went under contract for a 6 unit multi fam in Michigan.

@Jeremy DubeOh that's fantastic! 

Due to federal guidelines, I will not be about to obtain a convention mortgage until October 2018.
