I dunno @Mike Francis, this has come up before and I still think that you aren't going to get a ton of traffic from being on there.

If this effort gains traction, it could fundamentally reshape the U.S. mortgage market, impacting financing options for real estate investors nationwide.The Role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Housing FinanceFannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase mortgages from banks and lenders, package them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and sell them to investors.

This is a very common issue in parts of Milwaukee and I have done lots of basement reinforcing on our rentals.

@Nathan Gesner It's no use helping here.

Based on this of course it would still be risky, specially being the first time but better start somewhere than just keep analysing properties right?  

Tools like Rentometer and Roofstock can help with market analysis and property selection.Good luck!

Hello everyone, I am focusing on acquiring my first multifamily deal this year. 

It’s crucial to ensure that your cash reserves can cover not only the mortgage but also unexpected expenses during the remodel.The 30% housing rule is a helpful guideline to avoid overextending yourself, and ideally, you should be comfortable with your monthly housing costs even without rental income.

It's not good to burn bridges in this business, and we agents do a lot of free work that we never get paid for.

Since you're 6-12 months away from buying, use this time to build investor relationships, master deal analysis, and secure financing.
