I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

There's definitely some opportunity with people wanting to make moves post-storm.

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

All lies and manipulation of people who do not see through him.

You can tell him the people on BP think it's not a good idea. 

I can't stand Dave Ramsey because he advises people with out asking 100 questions that you should before you give advice like this. 

And people think Ai is going to replace accountants.one can argue that apartments.com is just a processing the payment and not actually holding the funds to transfer out.If apartments.com all of a sudden reverses the payment for insufficient funds?

And a PM that manages 10k units as part of the GP entity, with equity invested, will be taken more seriously than a XYZ property management (who manages 200 units total) has said they are open to managing the property when I close.Lastly, even in the "easier" market timing of the early and mid 2010's, most people when they get started are looking at deals for about 18 months before the first one is awarded and closes. 

At least not in the place where people are commenting.

I’ve seen this happen to people and it’s devastating.
