And any time a journalist or anyone else claims to know, the first question I have for them is: "If you say that you have access to this accurate crystal ball, then why aren't YOU a billionaire?!"

However, as I said the "big D" has left me in debt up to my eye balls!

just don't do a lease. as others have mentioned, this forces the buyer of the property to take over the lease (if its even allowed/ they qualify) and it certainly does make the property a little tougher to sell. i'm also doing a house hack, and here in CA, its made a world of difference for me. the bulk of our energy usage is in the summer when we want to run the a/c. my bill stays a constant $228/mo (i pocketed the tax credit and simply financed the panels after that grace period). instead of getting an $800 bill in the summer months, we run the a/c at a constant temperature 24/7 on auto, stay comfortable, and i typically get a little bit coming back at the end of the year. don't expect to pocket this "little bit back" by being conservative with your useage, it sort of is a use-it-or-lose-it situation... i think i got $54 back this year.

I did a live in flip but hind sight I would have done better with a MF3) Use the excess money to snag a couple dealsCan't change the past, if we all had a crystal ball it would make life amazing.

We can remotely control the temperature, but if someone (a guest) manually changes the thermostat, it overrides our remote settings, which is what we want.   

Often times, I advise folks to start with HML or PML and the refi into a DSCR loan with a bank/CU when the property is stabilized.I am going to assume that a HML/PML loan would be at a higher cost/rate than a bank that would play ball, so I would prefer that if possible...

Trying to get more votes, so I get a free BP ball cap. what we all do for free stuff. 

Hi Everyone, Im looking to get some advice on evicting a former owner who isn’t playing ball after a foreclosure sale.I purchased the Property on the 5th November, it appeared to be empty but turned out to be occupied.

I submitted a low-ball offer and it got rejected.

In fact, and I know you may be just spit balling, but your numbers suggest you have no experience at all running a business.
