One of my partners lives in Pflugerville which we identified as potentially a good area to invest in as well as Round Rock.

For round number's sake, lets say I want to purchase a property for exactly $200,000.

Have a read on this article here and give me your thoughts, I myself am going to have to re-read it again to fully understand what it entails and how it fully impacts us, were it to get pushed through.https://www.fool.com/millionac...Excerpt of the article:Talk over the second round of stimulus is underway with three proposed policies on the table at the present time, one of which would have a big impact on homeowners, tenants, landlords, and real estate investors everywhere: The Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act of 2020.This bill, sponsored by Representative Ilhan Omar, D-M.N., would eliminate rental and mortgage payments on any primary residence for the duration of the national emergency, allowing landlords and lenders to recoup losses by applying to a relief fund, but there are stipulations.Let's look at what the act proposes and how it would work and see how it would affect real estate investors.

VRBO/Homeaway isn't as popular as Airbnb but it is definitely a viable platform, I have 3 properties that are rented year-round with 95% occupancy.

I'm $2 off for rounding. 

Ok everyone what are your thoughts on this purchase. this property is in South portland maine. asking price was $600k, sell price was $582k seller paid all closing(11K) i also got $3,500 from the seller to pay for some work that was needed. i did get another 1k from seller also for some other stuff. interest rates is 2.875%. i know some dont like this idea but i am 100% leveraged as id i didn't bring a downpayment4unitrents are 1350,1375,1150,1300=$5,175i will be house hacking for atleast a year as its a VA loan but for the purpase of this question i left all the units rents in the calculationexpenses are about 2100 rounded(gas,electric,capx, maintenance and water/sewer)mortgages just under 3000 rounded up(principal, insurance and taxes)so ill be cash flowing about 75 a month. this area is a high appreciating area... or it was who knows with all this covid. part of my thought process on this deal is that my loan will be getting paid down over 10k a year and even if appreciation goes slows there is some room for forced appreciation. what are your thoughts?

In my area that would qualify as a newer duplex that would command a premium, but it depends on things like the climate in your area and how long things typically last there, are you having to run the AC year round?

I use 8% or 1/12.5 or round down to 1 vacancy per year.

A well-rounded property owner should have minimal issue managing their own assets IF the systems are set up properly.

I feel like my only options are either finding someone who can do seller financing, or somehow round up some hard money with various other investors.
