Whether you’re targeting strong cash flow or long-term appreciation, understanding the dynamics of each neighborhood is key.

This would give an initial rental rate, and then step up every 3 months slightly until you reach your target rental rate. 

Since you’re already networking and have some good realtor contacts, focus on narrowing down your investment strategy (like buy-and-hold or house hacking) and target markets with solid cash flow potential.

From a personal standpoint I target 70% LTV for any investment I have that way gives me ability to sell it if I need too

@Madison SloanTo start house hacking, focus on saving for your down payment, researching target markets like Salt Lake City or North Idaho, and building a strong team of professionals, including an agent and lender.

In the MLS a property is being advertised by a realtor, but the description says "Non representation listing please call owner direct".

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I’m just shocked they can advertise it in writing as a triplex and it’s not.
