., 900 SQ FT is TINY, I live 10 min from there and will not touch it .36k gross so about 20k net, ( MAX ) all in 375k, TERRIBLE deal 4% net , again terrible   Actually, the net will be less, Insurance will be about 10k, On top of the 6kish in taxes, and other items. 

Any licensed and insured contractor qualifies to do a 203k loan.

@Jacob NevarezTo make a house hack deal, analyze properties for zoning issues, rental restrictions, deferred maintenance, neighborhood trends, overestimated rents, flood zones, and insurance costs.

As for a Home Owner Association (HOA), whether it needs to comply depends on its legal structure and tax status.

A major reason I chose Mark was that his foreclosures are considered very thorough and there are title companies that will offer title insurance right away on tax lien foreclosures that he handles.

So 96,120 gross income lets say 10% expenses (they will add back in depreciation, taxes and insurance) = $7,209 a month x 45% = $3,244 will be your max PITI payment allowedI have a fantastic lender referral, @Sam Sharp, who is also an investor himself. 

Our tenants have been insurance burn outs ( their house burnt down insurance is paying the rent) to those building Custom homes that will take 12 to 18 months..

There are obviously other metrics that have to be met, such as the gross monthly rent has to be equal to greater than the total principal, interest, taxes, and insurance; that is the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).

Staying at a hotel is the way to go; the best a spirit can do in that situation is prank call the homeowner!
