I recently joined pro and I found out that there is no filter to sort out multi-family in "find deals"...

There are very few banks out there that will allow a seller held second without you coming out of pocket or using some sort of collateral.  

Aloha Irwin,As a realtor in Honolulu area, I think if I have to rate one of the worst three projects for investments, I think "Trump Tower" would be in top 3.

I am also finding that there are all sorts of trash in the gutter in the street in front of the property.

Actually sounds kinda like some sort of fair housing violation 😬

The worst ones usually don't have any clear cut guidelines (a lot of the underwriters will make up their own rules if they do not like the deal), Suck at communicating (will reply days later), Push aggressive terms to get deals in and then switch them, and Not really motivated to get things done (they will adverse a loan without any hesitation). 

I recently made a post about my favorite house hacking strategy which is to find a house that has a basement entrance or one that has some sort of side or garage entrance that opens up to the basement stairs and turn that into a basement entrance.

Quote from @Taylor Witt:I have 8+ units that I would like to install plank flooring/vinyl of some sort when the units turn over tenants.

I still cant figure out how to get a picture off my phone and on to a computer LOL.On the flip side your take down of Clayton Morris saved unknown numbers ( hundreds ) of investors from making probably the worst financial decision of their life.. so for that alone its worth 20k upvotes.. :)

Some sort of management courses would also be useful RE is not only managing a physical property but tenants, handymen, skilled tradesmen, etc.
