As long as the property generates enough cash flow, you may qualify based on the asset alone.Another route is to explore portfolio loans from local banks or credit unions.

I ran quick numbers (see below) and it would seem that we'd cash flow better with Section 8, but the horror stories from other investors scare me.  

Find something that cash-flows like crazy or don't buy it.

We've had clients over the years who love Bronzeville & Hyde Park and have purchased large buildings with condo quality finishes or updated the buildings & are cash flowing while living in the building.

@Jessie Nunley May I ask if you don’t mind sharing what your CoC returns and monthly cash flow have been like with Memphis Invest so far?

Some grow too fast and discover they've built a full-time job for themselves.Growth can also include improving cash flow, increasing property value, or optimizing operations.

What is the best way to increase deal flow with multi family off market properties?

You only have 10 years left of mortgage on it then it's 100% cash flow!

Choose a multifamily or single-family investment approach, consider low cash flow priority, and monitor interest rates and seasonal timing.
