I'm a brand new user here...

Can you specifically explain how you avoided/circumvented the current standard seasoning of 6 months for a NOO loan (non-owner occupied)Have you had success flipping to a retail end user and avoided seasoning issues of the standard 3 months on FHA loans?

Andrew - The companies you mention all have disclaimers telling their users that they should use appraisals from a professional to determine the value of a property, and their numbers are often off by huge amounts.

Cash flow from landlording is not the only method to making $ regardless of what others claim.I personally know of several who buy at great price points, and flip to end users for profit.

The more property you have, the bigger the payoff when things recover.I have always prefered multifamily over sfr as the numbers seem to be better, but I do agree that the SFR can be sold quicker and easier as you can sell to both investors and end users.

User is advised to engage the services of a licensed professional appraiser in order to receive an accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the market value of a home.

I'm sure this is in part because of the number of users.

The 4 mortgage rule is not important to my initial purchase, it is important to succeed with my end user buyers.

You can use rent credits to increase your cash flow as Jon suggested.
