I would echo the post about security. 

I am trying to understand some things you said here as I am totally new to the commerical grade policy.

@Abby H.Shifting from house hacking to small multifamily is a great way to scale, and securing a JV partner is all about networking, credibility, and structuring a win-win deal.

Key points include:Security Deposits: In Indiana, there’s no legal cap on security deposits, but you must return the deposit (minus any valid deductions) within 45 days of the tenant vacating the property.Evictions: Follow the formal process carefully.

It probably would have cost me about $10k more, but I would have still been able to secure the property.

Should we pursue a "cheap" rental in order to build rental history in the hopes of securing DSCR loans down the road? 

And just look at wholesaling its become regulated yet gurus still tell their students its totally legal the way they teach when it simply is not.. 

It was still under $38K in total. 

Of course the rate is higher with 15% down, but it helps investors get that property secured with less out of pocket.Happy to help if there's anything you need.

Anyone over 18 fills out has to furnish their social security and driver's license numbers, and pays a fee for a credit / background check.
