Hello there @Andrew Miller - Happy to help go through the 203k loan process...we help many clients with these here in Chicago.The key is having an experienced FHA 203k team (HUD consultant, Contractor, Lender, agent). 

He works with us often here in Chicago, but can service loans across the country!

That's a lot of value, not to mention our experience with other deals we have negotiated and built for many clients.

The mortgage servicers, agents, buyers, sellers, etc.

I have clients who exist solely based on buying up these facilities from people who aren't managing them properly. 

I am a long-term investor, but I also provide services to long-term investors, so my advice is biased toward that option.  

Did you overreach on a project, get burned by a client, or misjudge a contractor?

Assuming you have access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service, a place for agents to list deals).1) Look for deals that look like investor-type of deals (e.g. low purchase price, ugly houses, or sometimes MLS will even say what type of financing it is)2) If the buyer's info is there, voila.  3) Otherwise, contact the realtor to look for leads (that will be more of a uphill battle, but you never know...)

House hacking is the primary strategy I have used to grow my portfolio and that's the typical client I work with as well.What strategy are you interested in?

I had a couple clients lock in just recently at 7.1% on 10-30 unit deals.
