@Cameron PriceLike many things in life, the answer is a qualified yes .... it depends.Scenario 1:You are buying your first, or even one of your first few, properties and you approach the local banks with "I'll only pay 4%".  

OK, alleged felon.I bought a nine-unit complex a few months back and it came with some interesting residents.

I look forward to working with all of you.Thanks,Drew Cameron

Quick and concise:Class A property = minimum credit score of 650; previous landlord reference w/ no payments >30 days overdueClass B = 625 score; reference w/ no more than 1 payment >30 days overdueClass C = 600 score; reference with $0 balance dueMust be able to verify monthly income of 3x the monthly rentNo felony convictionsNo landlord judgements/evictionsIt's important to have written criteria that you follow every time in order to minimize the possibility of an applicant alleging discrimination.Good luck!

@Cameron Druyor is it possible, sure.Is it likely?

Allegedly a big profit, and a motivated seller..

One method that multiple people have recommended to me is doing 'Morning Pages', it's a method developed by Julia Cameron in her book, 'The Artist Way', it has a 'new age' feel so some people might be turned off but I have talked to people (artists and not artists, business people, etc) that rave about it. 

If you're wanting to lead projects instead of develop them, you might be interested in this one in particular.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/03/31/bp-podcast-168building-hundreds-homes-sell-rent-cameron-skinner/
