Congratulations on building such an impressive portfolio at such a young age and achieving so many successes!

My lease requires professional carpet cleaning, which would cost more than $500 for a home of that size.Yes, it's reasonable to reduce the cost because she was such a long-term tenant.

@Robert GonzalezMost any DSCR loan is going to be chalked full of docs where you agree to NOT occupy the property while under the terms of the loan you are signing docs for. 

For example: We provide tax preparation and advisory services to people who invest in commercial (including multifamily) real estate, and high w2 earners investing in short-term rentals.

Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms.

I’m particularly interested in methods that have worked well for you in terms of finding deals that aren’t listed on the MLS.Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!

@Charlotte WilsonAs long as you continue to occupy the property you purchase with an FHA loan and you're not applying for owner occupant financing on the other property, that shouldn't be a problem.

I have a window into the PRE REOs coming to me, and lately, that list is getting LONG.

Without sharing greater detail of your proposed investment, no one can offer anything of value in terms of what types of returns they would want to see to compensate for that risk.

Does it make a difference for privacy (in terms of public records, so disregarding lawsuits)?
