Again, we are talking about unwarranted reviews, not true 3- or 4-star reviews.

For example, I would place one in the game room if it is located on the opposite end of the hallway from the bathroom.

Is NOTHING sells for a refi appraisal price  I  mean nothing that appraisal is always high.. so when folks say hey I got a refi and it appraised at this and I now have this much equity that is also not true and wishful thinking..

Unlike true multifamily, meaning the county or city has the property categorized as multifamily, you can't use potential rental income from the additional units to help you qualify (if the home is single family per the appraisal, that is).

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

I personally like one sponsor who has been through multiple real estate cycles without losing any investor money, puts very large amounts of skin in the game, is conservatively leveraged and has a very good 1031 exchange program.

It was those 2022 delivered  projects where I became an accidental landlord that led me to focus more attention on building to researched housing needs rather than simply replicating the inventory other's bring to the market and it's been a game changer for me and my business. 

All too true! 

Sad but true.

Understanding the numbers is key to knowing whether a project will be successful or if it’s better to walk away.That said, it’s also true that every market is different, and combining a solid business approach with lifestyle goals can create unique opportunities.
