I’m making an offer on a 10% cap 4-flat to house hack with FHA.

@Kris HaskinsThat flat out stinks.  

I'm seeing a lot of references to just flatly looking for x years of good tenancy verified by a landlord, but what if this is their first move on their own, and they can tell you where they lived but don't have a non-family landlord to ask about them?

Sounds like a big deal.For those of you with experience on flat roofs--popular in Baltimore--how do you feel they'll handle the weight of all this predicted snowfall?

(I'm still a flat-lander)Have family way ...way ...way ... up there, north of Chesuncook lake.

In that instance, if the cap rate stays the same, the calculated value will be artificially lower than the market value so how did you model or bake-in this market appreciation into say a 5 or 10 yr model?

She said she cleaned as if her mother were coming over :) If we have to dispose of any personal belongings/garbage left behind, or if the place is dirty, we charge.Touch up painted interior walls and Trim $135*We do charge for this if there are holes in the walls from hanging photos/flat screen TVs that need to be patched/painted.

I am interested in but not limited to everything involving...Realtor classes in my area Mls1st time home buyer perks203k, HELOCWays to attain money other than traditional lendingUps and downs of auctions, tax sales, bank owned reoBuy and hold, rehab, 2 flat rentalIf you have ever told yourself, "if I knew then what I know now I would do things this way"...

I don't know how much you have for DP, but if you're looking for buy and hold, there's a house in the Sunset selling the whole building right now for 1m or so and comes with 2 flats (obviously, it'll go for more). 

Buy a 2-3 flat with Va loan and little money down.
