But you can run your own tests on this.

If you want more cash flow deals you may want to look outside of Boston and test out some new markets where you're hitting closer to the range of returns you're looking for. 

I've used the rental calculator enough now where I think I can find a few 2-4 unit properties that can cash flow at least $100 a unit even with zero down, though the pickings be slim at any given time.

Either way, I wouldn't put the AirBNB terms of service to the test.

The challenge with the FHA guidelines is the self sufficiency test.

I wanted to burn down two houses on my 90 lot development.. not as easy as it sounds at least in Uber permit crazy oregon.. you needed lead and asbesto's test then remove those if they are present..

so far so good one project is well and septic.. of course we had to drill wells and do all the ground tests etc.. the other projects are basically infill with mainlines already established. out west here each state is different.. in CA you will hear the term Mello Roos ..

Ultimately it will depend on the property (banks perform stress test-debt ratio)-but I think 5 year term is what I found so far.

The way to find it starts with testing and challenging yourself and your system.  100% during hot time is one thing.

This self claimed "Drug Addict to CEO" doesn't pass the sniff test in my opinion.
