These files were standardized forms that many other lenders in the past have given me up front or not long after the initial engagement.

I would get into your first home by either house hacking or a standard purchase.

@Amir PortalRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If it's a verbal tenancy, you have to show a practice of collecting rent that the tenant is no longer abiding by (or perhaps tenant shows up, and honestly states they were obligated to pay rent and haven't done so).When the eviction case is submitted, you give the tenants names, e-mail, phone, address.

Helping others navigate this unique and impactful business model has been a rewarding part of my journey.Now, I’m looking to scale by incorporating the BRRRR strategy—acquiring undervalued properties, rehabbing them to meet care home standards, and refinancing to reinvest.

DSCR/hard money are non owner occupy loans.If you decide to do FHA203K for the first home - a 203K consultant/inspector will be required for the standard 203k loan, you will unlikely be able to serve as GC and you sign a 1 year occupany affidavit.

China as a low cost producer is past- they have aged and standard of living out.  

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.

hey guys, I've been talking to a potential PM for my townhouse and he sent me his PM agreement for review.There are a few things in the agreement I didn't like, but I'm not sure if these are common practice or true RED flags.Would love to hear your thoughts...

I would recommend buying a standard SFH with opportunities for an ADU, or a split floor plan where you could rent out the rooms!
