@Nina Ning I do not play detective or require past rental payments to qualify for my units.

Learning from others is a game-changer.Think Long-TermEven if you can’t house hack yet, that’s okay.

Is this the best play here?

@Deal H.I want you to get in the game too, I just want you to do so from a place of financial strength. 

Playing it safe might mean walking away if the numbers can’t improve.

You can't expect to get the same results investors were getting in 2018.You can play with the numbers a little, but be careful.

Keep in mind that you'll need to qualify full doc (DTI, employment history and income will all come into play) and the property typically needs to be titled to yur personal name, not an entity. 

I have seen that play out as well.

RE investing is a numbers game so the more properties/options you look at, the higher the likelihood you'll land a good deal in a shorter amount of time.Only 6% of Suffolk 2-4 family properties listed since '23 have been triplexes and quads. 

I think that'll help you gain more insights into the market and start building your team for the long-term game.
