Researched, test drove for a weekend, comfortable with buying it.

Just keep an eye on how both markets are performing, and maybe start small, like taking out $50k, so you can test the waters without over-leveraging.

The sustainability test is that 3/4 of units need to cover 75% of the mortgage from my understanding.

They are making all kinds of excuses now that they've been 'caught with their pants down'....I saw a few minutes ago that January is the month they 'test their hydrants'.

And you take Tyler the author of one of the longest threads in BP history if you were going to pay rent on a vacant house don't you think that would be the one you choose.then there is the other thread were the guy put up the U tube video only to take it down Because morris contacted him and said he would buy him out or fix it.. to me its as I have stated these guys are caught and they want to put the genie back in the bottle. but at the end of the day what they have done is very wrong.. having done this business all my life the BEST imperical evidence of occupancy is the neighbors hands down.Here is another company that came to me looking for funding in 2001 for KC and Indy  I told them you cannot buy cheapest real estate in the city and pay rents on vacant units.. it created a huge Ponzi schemehttps://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2016/lr23451.htm   you will see post on BP from Clatfelter as well when they were still trying to sell stuff. but be that as it may.. its really up to those that have suffered loss's to either do nothing or its very simple to file a complaint on line it takes 5 minutes and let the state decide if this business practice is acceptable. 

@Mindy RosscupThe knowledge you gain by studying and taking the test to become a RE agent.

At that point we tested the waters and gave them the option to keep the money or to reinvest it in another property.

And the self-showings, Zillow just did the biggest beta test of this, and it failed epically. unless loosing tens of millions is the goal, if that's the goal than they hit it out of the park. 

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

After the property is acquired, during any 30-month period, the additions to the basis need to exceed the adjusted basis at the start of the 30-month period.What is the 50% of gross income test?
