@Dina SchmidFoundation issues on a newer house could indicate an underlying soil issue.

We're comfortable with that though as we want assurances that their financials are healthy.

I would check with your lender to confirm if 0% can be used for 3 and 4 units...they might require 5% down.SFR investment with rehab can also be a great way to invest in real estate. it just depends what are your strengths and goals and which strategy will best serve you.buying a home a year is normal for some. depends on what your goals are.Id think of it like planting a tree: being 25, time is on your side. if you have a solid income with healthy DTI, I would suggest taking advantage of it by house hacking small multi in A/B market and let father time be your friend.

So any additional exceptions, whether for purchase price or even total loan amount, would be more likely if you can show a healthy SREO. 

It’s important to balance cash-out refinance with maintaining healthy cash flow from rent.Mismanaging the Rehab Process:Delays in the rehab phase can eat into your profits.

It's just not mentally healthy to wait for a pending issue.

Buying distressed & fixing yourself gives you the full intel on the quality of your product, buying 2 rather than 4 you can pay for better locations, then having reserves gives you a healthy peace of mind.

Doing this requires both a healthy inventory of deals way under market value and a large list of serious buyers.

I guess that means, there is healthy demand for rents in the metroplex.I am curious if there is a city or few Zip codes within Tulsa, Broken arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso, that is preferred by prospective tenants ? 

Fewer lenders in that space will do 5+, but the ones that do only require it to cash flow a 1.2 DSCR, decent credit, and a healthy market.
