I know in Philadelphia if I had a 2 BR house it would be viewed favorably by tenants who are seeking 2 BR living situations because most inventory will be apartment style living and for this reason would achieve a rent premium.

I have 1 partner who provides up to 75% of the down payment, however, my goal has always been to live below my means, save money, and invest the saved money as a downpayment. 

You want to focus on areas where you have a competitive advantage (you have lived there or you have family and friends there) and then compare those areas against widespread list of great areas to invest.Good luck!

Not tracking.You're going to live in one of the units? 

The reason to have comparables is if you are representing someone or perhaps purchasing a house for yourself to live in.

I've done three flips in Denver, where I live.  

@Jay FayzIt's possible to use an FHA loan with a 5% down payment, but keep in mind that the loan is intended for primary residences, and you'll need to live in the property for at least a year.

I live in the area and just gave up looking for now. 

Screening everyone over 18 helps reduce the risk of costly evictions and ensures you’re fully informed about who will be living in your property.Additionally, be mindful of the number of occupants and how it might impact your property.

We literally walked the property on live video with you and showed you everything you asked to see.
