In this case the consumer over estimates the risk of an hourly model costing more than a traditional commission model.

Income-based lending is mostly for people with traditional jobs.

Unlike traditional loans, DSCR loans focus on the property’s income rather than your personal DTI, making them ideal for investors with multiple properties.

And that doesn't include other expenses.So the traditional SFH route may work eventually including appreciation and other factors, but probably not in 10 years because you need to refi and purchase other houses to make this angle work.Buying a 2/1 somewhere and living on one side is another option, as is renting both sides, but you'd have to identify an area where you can afford a duplex.

But everyone basically signed those agreements late into the search right before an offer was made, and because the seller almost always paid, it wasn’t the traditional negotiation you’d have upfront with a seller, 2ndly while I do think this is a net win for the consumer, the idea that the doj “solved a problem that didn’t exist” 1st of all it wasn’t doj it was a jury in Missouri 2ndly the issue is regardless of impact on consumer’s they were almost certainly violating anti-trust law which is illegal lol, the publishing of commissions and the fact that something like 98% of all agents were paid between 2.5-3% was textbook, imagine if the price for a ritz and a motel 6 we’re basically the same, you’d think collusion right? 

Investing in a syndication or fund could be a good fit given your situation.I started investing in some fix and flips and some smaller residential properties from traditional BRRRs.

Meaning, they are not willing to:- sell their property off market- go into contract with a wholesaler- sell their property for a discount (i.e. they want 'top dollar')In cases like these, an agent can still assist the homeowner by helping them sell the traditional way.That said, wholesaling can be lucrative so I echo the advice you've received here - get out there and speak to people in the industry who are willing to share helpful information.All the best!

Hi folks, with Silicon Valley's push to try and automate traditional MFH property management, I'm curious if there's any providers you've heard of or tried that are also attacking the HOA/COA space as well? 

Hi AJ, Great info on sharing the lack of accessibility to traditional financing in Puerto Rico. 

Negative $2400/month but instead of shrinking which is traditional, the negative grows (goes more negative) slowly for 15 years.
