Until you get better clarity on those answers, you are more likely gambling instead of investing.

From my experience, cities like Greenville, Columbia, Augusta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Jacksonville offer strong house-hacking opportunities with growing job markets, solid rental demand, and affordable multi-family options.

Watch out for what gets deducted in home warranty or concessions but those will be in offers you accept. 

This is limiting my options.I have never utilized the multifamily lending products offered by Fannie, Freddie, etc., so I would be interested to a) hear other BP members' lender recommendations for this sized property and also b) other members' experiences working with Fannie, Freddie, etc.  

My company offers real estate syndications.

Off market and the new the owner used an agent so I reached out to the agent and made an offer How did you finance this deal?

I know I could have a family member co-sign a mortgage with me but not sure the best way to approach that conversation and what incentives I’d be able to offer to make it worth while for them other then their “familial duties” haha. 

One thing to bear in mind is that if you want first crack at a property offered by Networth, you have to finance thru Loans212.

I told the couple that I got an offer for $1,700 but wanted to ultimately rent to them but need the income.

The property sat on the market for a month before an offer came in, but the buyer backed out at closing.
