In this completive market, it seems as though off-market deals is the only place to really find a "comfortable" position to be in (although completely aware that we are all in a risk filled area of investing). 

Horizontal cracks on the foundation may just be wear & tear.

These include accidents (I recently had 2 units destroyed by fire), natural disasters (I have had two units each hit by 2 hurricanes), property management turn over (they sell or stop being as good, I have experienced both), or turn over of team (I am turning over at handyman and I suspect plumber), or just wear n tear of property (slab leak in poor location, sewer pipes rotted out (one unit this month), roof, foundation issue, etc.).  

It’s nice to see that we are in the same area!

We are working to help people evaluate their situation and manage properties while these court actions are in process.

Hi Jonathan- We are also in Greensboro doing property management; fix and flips; STR and Mid Term Rental management; assisting local investors with finding, purchasing or selling investment properties, etc. 

We are many flippers in the area(but not that area) mostly in the suburbs of Canton!

Quote from @Maxnbee Nyabende: We are OOS investors and have a small portfolio (5total) SFH and duplex in the Northwest Arkansas area.

I have a few reasons for this. 1) We are both self-employed and our income is inconsistent. 2) We don't want to impact our DTI, because we are planning on buying a house hack within the next year or so.We would be open to going up to 6 units for our first property as long as it's within budget.Now that you have some context, is it possible for a rookie to use a DSCR loan on a duplex or triplex?

Every bank is looking for something different and it changes over time.However, we are not in a BRRRR market anymore, you'd be sailing upwind.
