Those chasing the last 5yrs experience are going to be rather sad at what the next 5yrs hold for them I think.

If you are moving from your SFR to another property, then you should be able to get a 5% down loan or even 3% if it's FHA.  25% is only if you won't be living in the property in my experience.

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

When I ask for clarification, I only get vague responses.I’d really like to hear if others have gone through similar experiences with AppFolio.

I have seen REI Hub recommended on here, but I am unsure of their ability to work with local banks, so if anyone has any experience they can speak of that would be greatly appreciated.  

(so I hope).I have a whole lot more info regarding my interactions with these institutions and how I've dealt with them if you're interested?

Additionally, I would like to attempt to do the process Owner/Builder with subcontracting work out as well as doing some of the work I'm comfortable with (I have some experience with bathroom & kitchen remodeling an am not new to the construction industry).

I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience in this area. 

I plan on driving alot to find distressed or run down multifamily properties that possibly are owned by an out of state investor and reaching out however would like everyone's opinion or personal experience on some other creative ways.

I respect the experience here and am eager to contribute as I grow.
