I have no prior experience in real estate, however, am fortunately enough to have access to sources of income besides a fixed job salary that provides me additional CF and a long-term safety net.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that county provides that information for free online, BUT they do upload it to a private company that will sell you access to it online for a fee:https://www.courthouseonline.com/

I can find foreclosures and preforeclosures pretty easy that way.

They maintain access to the house managers and meetings, and while we make the transition to independent living as seamless as possible, they are essentially on their own. 

There is definitely A LOT of info out there, it is easy to get information overload.

@Gregory SchwartzBlame politicians for making it too easy to see these property managers.It is called risk mitigation and as a company they do not want to disclose personal information (even though they require it to rent to you).I honestly don’t see an issue with it

The way you are breaking it down is very spreadsheet-friendly in terms of what would work in a best-case scenario, but landlording for five room hackers is not easy and the rent is not easy to collect in all cases.

Key differentiators include storage space (attic or large closets), EV charging, and accessible backyards (not just an entry from the bedroom).3) Liya Mo - BTR REITS are trading at a premium to MultiFamily REITS, largely due to more exit strategies.

Yes, most of the reputable lenders have a min loan amount of 65k - 75k with a minimum of 40k - 50k of that amount going toward the purchase.I've been down this road before with a few investors who want to buy cheaper homes and what I can tell you is that - 1) It's not easy and 2) You WILL NOT like the rates, fees, and points.Think about it, what does a lender stand to make on an interest only loan for about 40k.
