Then, after I had experience and several wins, people were willing to partner with me on deals, or lend to me in second position for a short period of time to help with the down payment and with repairs and then I would pay them back when I would refinance.

win win in my eyes.

You can’t win the the present value game unless your plan is the absolute best investment plan, AND an owner occupant or neighbor doesn’t want it. 

If you get 1% to get an appointment / follow up call and close on 1 you are winning. 

This way we both win and I keep the money with family and friends vs. giving it to the bank. 

Hard not to see that as a win-win.Min stay automation is also a powerful feature that I think is untapped by many. 

house was built half way onto my lot.. owner of house went to court he only had to pay what half of the lot was worth at the time.. so no big win.. more like a big hassle

Big, covered, outdoor living areas also appear to be a winning amenity for each home.
