Get your income up, keep the DTI low, and resist the urge to go chasing after cheap doors in smaller Midwest markets. 

Even after finding a qualifying building, if you can use the new 5% down program you may find less resistance to your offers since sellers often don't want to deal with the additional inspection.

Honestly, just networking with high profile people that raise capital for bigger projects is your path of least resistance.

Medium grade sounds much better when you walk on it, your installer will not hate you and is also more resistent.

Yesterday, I noticed a bike in the front yard which was not there when I did my initial inspection.I normally don't touch these kinds of properties (and try to avoid occupied properties in general), but it was so cheap I couldn't resist.

Assuming you are just now beginning investing, I recommend picking the 'lowest hanging fruit' and 'walking path of least resistance.'

The beauty and the quality of many developments in a place like Tulum is impressive and it’s hard to resist the call of the beautiful renderings.

This way you don't need any loans, you get to grow your equity/experience/income with every house, and the passive investors get your time/dedication/growing expertise/energy/and an inflation resistant investment. people want good investments, the Horse, but they mostly judge that by the earnestness/ambition/expertise of the Jockey. good luck :)

Not sure what's to be gained by resisting.

"Buyer to receive $5000 credit at closing, Buyer agrees to replace subfloor with 3/4 plywood, mildew resistant and sound proof flooring insulator"Obvious labor is expensive, What are your thoughts on this.. the actual subfloor is fine but its in the contract to install new subfloor anywaywith the "replace subfloor", could I install new 3/4 plywood over the existing subfloor which technically i am replacing the subfloor or do i need to discard the old subfloor and install the 3/4 plywood??
