I'm in a space to do some house hacking, and am under the general (unresearched, unless you count years of Zillow watching) opinion that my local rental market is healthy.

We're comfortable with that though as we want assurances that their financials are healthy.

I would check with your lender to confirm if 0% can be used for 3 and 4 units...they might require 5% down.SFR investment with rehab can also be a great way to invest in real estate. it just depends what are your strengths and goals and which strategy will best serve you.buying a home a year is normal for some. depends on what your goals are.Id think of it like planting a tree: being 25, time is on your side. if you have a solid income with healthy DTI, I would suggest taking advantage of it by house hacking small multi in A/B market and let father time be your friend.

So any additional exceptions, whether for purchase price or even total loan amount, would be more likely if you can show a healthy SREO. 

It’s important to balance cash-out refinance with maintaining healthy cash flow from rent.Mismanaging the Rehab Process:Delays in the rehab phase can eat into your profits.

It's just not mentally healthy to wait for a pending issue.

They know better than anyone.......Oh, and you can also get some of the better deals when buying those properties, as long as you have a good idea of the potential extent and cost of the repairs and plug that (with a healthy contingency) into your proforma. 

Buying distressed & fixing yourself gives you the full intel on the quality of your product, buying 2 rather than 4 you can pay for better locations, then having reserves gives you a healthy peace of mind.

Doing this requires both a healthy inventory of deals way under market value and a large list of serious buyers.

I guess that means, there is healthy demand for rents in the metroplex.I am curious if there is a city or few Zip codes within Tulsa, Broken arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso, that is preferred by prospective tenants ?
