They have enforcement powers that I just don't have.

Granted MFH are more common in rougher parts of central jersey and my purchasing power can't acquire me something in North Jersey here homes are much more desirable when it comes to appreciation and schools and safety.

As a member of GoBundance we focus on different pillars of life to find balance between age defying health, authentic relationships, horizontal income, extreme accountability, bucket list adventures, and genuine contribution.

However, the power is in the community.

Continue exploring various strategies to optimize your purchasing power and minimize upfront costs.Using an FHA or VA loan for MFH acquisition can indeed be advantageous, offering lower down payments and favorable terms.

“Force Majeure” means: hurricanes, floods, extreme weather, earthquakes, fires, or other acts of God, unusual transportation delays, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, or acts of terrorism, governmental actions and mandates, government shut downs, epidemics, or pandemics, which, by exercise of reasonable diligent effort, the non-performing party is unable in whole or in part to prevent or overcome.

That knowledge is powerful.

Blake:Disclosure - When I was buying SF rentals years ago, I was a Longhorn client.The real test is your staying-power though a bad market. 

We have a chronic housing shortage, which results in an extremely hot rental market, but it also makes buying very competitive.

Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?
