I put them in an LLC whenever I can but I've not found a traditional lender that will allow it.

@Mike MutabaziIf you are planning on getting traditional financing for each property, then you will need to find some way to provide a down payment.

This would be used as an alternative to the traditional wholesaler's assignment agreements.  

We also heard a lot of chatter and a lot of interest in some traditionally less sexy, midwestern markets like Kansas City, Columbus, etc.

@Jacob Lopez, as others noted, house hacking is not really a cash flow play, in a traditional sense, since you are effectively removing 33-50% of the property from the rent roll.If you plan on living in a unit for a couple years, then holding longer as an investment, I would underwrite it as an investment.  

Not exactly sustainable with the way prices have skyrocketed.Honestly, bypassing a turnkey marketer might be your best bet.

Mid term rentals should be more flexible than the traditional LTR, but it's ok to have an agreement,  and a damage deposit. 

Keep in mind it is a lot more hands on than your traditional rental.

Hey David, the type of loan your wife mentioned isn't available in the traditional lending market as far as I'm aware.

This deal with originally purchased through a traditional loan.
