Less than 10 minutes and they are done.Self Managed, Low Volume - these folks collect the same rent every month, have minimal expenses beyond their mortgage and find it very easy to collect the few documents they have to report it. 

If you intend on putting in 50 low ball offers a month, make sure your Realtor knows and is ok with that amount of legwork (because it's a lot).

Question: assuming an ideal brrrr that has all investment extracted at the refinance, why would you choose a low cost market over a high cost market?

when I first started lending in Detroit in 2002.. the rehabbers there would paint the copper in the basements with grey paint in the low light theives would think its galvanized and not take it.

Some people are growth-minded, which means they are willing to help for a low cost, or not much compensation knowing that the more conversations they have will lead to more clients.

You would still save more money 9 out of 10 times living with your parents but being able to leverage a low down payment loan will allow you to get a very high ROI on relatively safe investment. 

If you paid over $375k MAYBE you could keep it because the taxes saved are so low.

Strong job growth, low unemployment rate, and strong population growth.

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.
