Is paying some monthly fee good enough for access to MLS data without being on a conflicting situation where it feels like investors are wasting your time?

mostly waited for the market to come back, I also lived in it and got in good enough with HOA to acquire one of the 3 rental permissions in the building then furnished and rented it.

Is that a good enough figure?

I'm of the opinion that if your deal won't work with a 15 year term it's probably not a good enough deal, unless you get up into the non-recourse notes for medium and large apartments. 

We had purchased another fixer and when it was in good enough condition, we were able to refinance with the additional entitlement.You can also use the VA for up to 4 units, FYI.

However I need some help making sure I'm considering all the costs and have enough for a worthwhile profit or if these are not good enough deals to consider. 

So me and my fiancé have this idea of doing an FHA Loan for our first property while we do some small renovations, a home obviously good enough for the FHA but still capable of being upgraded here and there.

Good enough typically will only cost you more down the line when things start to break. 

My advice is to jump in on a deal that is “good enough”.

My cash flow isn’t crazy good, but good enough for my wife to be able to retire.
