Jonathan We have similar views but a completely different execution strategy.

It will be a byproduct of investing, not the primary purpose.

If I were to do it again I would go to a different area to invest.

IF that is the case full stop - yes you are paying for something called insurance but if you have a claim the company has the right to pretty much deny coverage for having the wrong type of policy.Landlord policies are higher cost but for a reason - there is a different and increased level of risk when the house is not owner occupied.Talk with your agent and get all the details sorted out. 

I have never filed an eviction before, and that too in a different state.

If I were to do seller financing as opposed to FHA would it have a different impact? 

I have worked with a ton of new investors, and don't get me wrong, there is a difference between patience and ambition.

I don’t understand how you can have 13 rentals that are paid off and a primary residence that is paid off and still need more cashflow.

Making sure that everyone is on the same page.And yes, starting big projects early does make a difference!

Your approach here has definitely given me a lot to think about in terms of spotting hidden value.Curious, with the deferred maintenance challenges you faced, was there anything unexpected that came up during the rehab that you’d approach differently next time?
