why on gods green earth would you want to buy 10k condemed houses :)  seems like a waste of time and money to me.

I found a house that I like to purchase in a great neighborhood and the exterior looks great for a 1922 stick built house.

Your time is worth money, it's time that guests aren't renting your house. 

My DP was around $20k and when I sold it I cleared over $200k.Good luck to you and let me know if there's ever anything else you'd like to know about house hacking.

And your money is Trapped inside your house. 

If you walked into a bank, your pre-approval would likely never qualify for a house hack duplex.Did they count 75% of the expected rent towards your DTI? 

Hence spec house.  

I'm a recent graduate and I was wondering how can I get access to a DSCR loan without having a credit score, not being an us citizen, now owning a house (some DSCR loans require that you own at least one other house) and not having a job.

The original goal, rightly or wrongly, was to maximize rentable units, so we rebuilt the main house from the foundation up into a 3 bed 2 Bath 1,600 sq foot main house, and added a 600 sq ft 1 Bed 1 Bath JADU, along with a 1,200 sq ft 3 Bed 3 Bath ADU.

But, it may not offer the ROI as other locales, and it may not be "fun" like buying in a favorite vacation spot.2 - The highest ROI folks - Self explanatory, will go where ROI is high and/or regulation low.3 - The second home/retirement minded - These people are looking for minimal ROI but want the house in a specific location because they like to use the property and want it to pay for itself.
