The practical reality is wanting to get started in passive investing with lower dollar amount minimum requirements.

Yes, it's possible to get an FHA loan with 3.5% down in the city, but your lender is right—there are some tricky hurdles, especially for multi-units.

Etc.Etc.I've found that when you can get crystal clear on what your ideal good deal looks like, it is MUCH EASIER TO FIND IT!

Before you think you're getting in for zero down, have you asked what kind of cash reserves you have to have to qualify for the loan such as X number of months rent, and X number of months taxes, and what about insurance are they going to require you to buy one years of insurance or something.

  $6k per month and $30,000 to get it going and it cash flowed about $20k a month. 

If they didn’t have replacement cost, what should they do to capture value and get a loss writeoff?

Wholesalers (no offense to those in the comments) who are doing this without being a foreign entity are probably co-wholesaling which is on the borderline and practically acting as an agent without a license or getting referral fees by having actual wholesalers on the ground doing deals and they just provide the leads which is different than wholesaling.

Looking to see if there is an interest in the community for this.Thank You Hey Manny, I'd love to get on a zoom call with you.

Very exciting you are looking to get into the RE investing world.Thanks for the interest in Rent To Retirement.

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.
