@Robin SimonI haven't seen Single-room Occupancy or Mixed-Use DSCR go away at all...

It took a while to get right - but we've had consistent success using a mix of research, mindfulness towards our neighbors/neighborhoods, conversations with cities, legal discussions, and as a worse case fallback is converting the home back to a single-family property and where we offer to manage it for a discounted price since it is a tough situation for all involved (this is very rare).Hope that answers your questions/concerns - let me know if I can provide any additional info as well.

So it's a bit of a mixed bag, but this was a long time ago now, and this is of course second-hand through me since I haven't really worked with OCF myself.

After the 2008 crash we did a lot of short sales and we got virtually all those deals through direct marketing with a few from bandit signs.When we moved out to KC, almost everything we bought were REOs listed on the MLS.When those dried up, we started getting a mix from wholesalers, a few hidden gems on the MLS and direct marketing.

I'd be delighted to make a personal introduction, and I'm just as eager to discuss life and real estate here in sunny Medellín, Colombia!

But the questions I would ask yourself before finding a market are: am I looking to prioritize cash flow, appreciation, or a mix of the two?

We are are also considering a commercial residential mix property with a fantastic cash flow.

Lots of people invest and house hack, or have a related side business like being an agent, or have a mix of self-managed properties and properties that are professionally managed.

However, I've heard many mixed opinions from different professionals.

We provide the residents with a list of names and phone numbers in advance, and warn the buyers NOT to arrive early OR stay past the end of the viewing.At the end of the viewing, our resident gets their e-gift certificate immediately by email or text.They are usually delighted and often ask us when they can host another!
