ROI and financial gain are truly the best catalysts for solving big problems like housing affordability and availability.

Don't expect the best DSCR rates for this property use as your pricing will get adjusted for this type of use.Commercial financing is also available for such uses, but can be more difficult in terms of cost and qualifying. 

I just ran it now for Denver and it shows over 1.4 million housing searches in the past 12 months, and about 3,100 whole unit rentals available.

@Alec Barnes one of the problems with communication is the different expectations.Agents and consumers all think PMCs should be available 24/7.NOT POSSIBLE for the relatively small monthly fees owners pay PMCs versus the thousands of dollars of commissions agents get per transaction.So, while agents may answer their phones 24/7, most PMCs do not.

One will not cover damage covered by water damage 'from above' and then theother will not cover damage caused by water 'from below' (flood) and then they cross reference them and don't pay at all.The good ole Insurance people will do anything to not do their job, which is to pay for their clients damages.There is $$ available through FEMA, but it isn't much and good luck getting it.Question is......even if you can get some money do you rebuild in the same locations?

So, if you acquire the property and hold it for at least a year, then title insurance will be available when you dispose of it.

I think FLA will still continue to see growth because of TAX's and weather along with available land .

Thanks for the insights,@Jordan Ray I'm aiming for properties that need light-medium rehab using conventional financing, although wouldn't I only want to go the HELOC route after I've used up all available cash first?

As you were asking about news articles I cited, while the Porter Case ones are not available, the one about another scam involving sub-2's Foreclosure Scam           Joe Kaiser, a license realtor would in many cases acquire properties under sub-2, let it go to foreclosure, then pocket proceeds from the foreclosure sale where the lender had to refund proceeds above the unpaid mortgages to the owner of record.

If you do nothing it will make them more available and better equipped to scam the next person.
