The only reason I chimed in is a lot of folks might take this as gospel for any and all areas.

In one of my markets I invest in I could buy a house cash for $200,000.

I’m not in the game yet, but I’ve been diving into this to prepare for my first multi-family deal.

Forums and meetups like BP have changed the game for my family for generations to come AND for generations for people in our homes. 

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

For example, in higher-end or luxury markets, where the price point is much higher, full-service staging can be a game-changer.

I am new to the game and using the FHA loan has just seemed to be the most common way to house hack (at least in terms of what the resources I have read have said). 

Very new at this game I live in cottonwood California and I would be interested in going to meet up if my schedule would allow.

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

It’s all about what will draw guests in and make them choose your listing over others.2️⃣ Standout Amenities: Rentals that offer something extra, like a hot tub, game room, or eye-catching design, often attract more bookings and higher rates.
