It's a good time to review markets, but living in China there are a lot of other closer, international markets that could be options as well.

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

There are some good cash flow markets, TIC options and DSTs.

Hey Frank, not sure who you're replying to but I want to emphasize based on what you said pretty much EVERY mortgage broker should have 10-20 options of lenders who can do this.

@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

Options like a unique amortization schedule or a 3/2/1 or 2/1 stepdown interest rate could provide initial relief to get you through the renovation phase while giving the seller confidence in a structured payoff plan.To determine an entry point, consider reducing the price based on the current NOI.

I am acutely exploring new construction options in NC right now, I would love to connect it seems you have a lot of know to share :)

I like the tub (it wasn't cheap, about 12 grand) but there's not great service options where I live and not sure if I would get it again since I mostly have to take care of it. 

.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.
