Rates will be a little higher (5%/6% range) but the cool thing is that you can often find these on 30 year fixed terms unlike the short term balloons the local bank would offer.

How can Norada Capital pay a fixed 15% yield to investors?

Hi @Tim Holt I think in general house hacking is usually a good move because it gets you off the sidelines and into the game with the most favorable financing possible (30 year fixed).There's a lot of value in getting started today vs waiting some undefined number of years until conditions are better, which could be a long time from now, because real estate is a business and the sooner you start actually learning about that business, the better.With all that said, I always recommend that people analyze any potential house hack as a pure investment that they aren't going to live in, because someday they may want to move out and you should know up front (before you commit) whether you're going to be able to do that, or whether you're overpaying and will be stuck in the property unable to move out because it'll be cash flow negative if you do.So you had it exactly right when you wrote, "the property would need to cash flow when I move out and rent out all units."

Traditional lender financing with 30-year fixed loan and 25% downpayment.

I am having the same connection issues with Stessa and they haven't been able to get it fixed.

Its certainly not appropriate for 99% of the viewers on BP that are primarily interest in either rental property long term or fix and flip short term.  

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value?

its kind of a trade off because i can get a newer property at a higher price and down payment, or get something older, less down and then use that money to fix what i need to fix. 

cash flow with $4k rent finance via refi (cheapest fixed rate available, maximizes COC) using 50% rule places the cash flow at $348/month that we will use $350.Note at $3.5 k rent same criteria, $3500 - $1632 -  1750 is only $118/month.
