Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.

Alternative options include offering a significant down payment, a lease-option agreement, a joint venture, or a deferred closing to align with John's timeline.

Local investors and agents will also have helpful recommendations—they are two of the best sources for finding a reputable local inspector.

However if you are looking for options without points then you would either want to consider taking a higher rate or increasing the term of the prepayment penalty. 

My model tenant (best tenant we ever had) will be moving Dec 1 so I'm looking at my options. 

Quote from @Michael Belz: Now, I have two options: I could fix and flip it with an estimated $200K rehab for an ARV (After Repair Value) of $825K, having purchased it for $465K. 

Here’s the quick-and-dirty lowdown to get you started:1️⃣ Where to Look:LoopNet & Crexi: Good for commercial deals, though the best ones go fast.MLS (Multiple Listing Service): Access through a realtor for hidden gems.Auction Sites: Think Auction.com or HUD homes for distressed properties.Direct Mail Campaigns: Target landlords with older properties (especially those with code violations).2️⃣ Systems for Finding Deals (Step-by-Step):Set Your Criteria: Market, budget, unit count, rehab level.Build a Deal Funnel: Use LoopNet, Crexi, wholesalers, auctions, and brokers.Analyze Quickly: Use a property calculator to see if it cash flows.Direct Outreach: Contact sellers or property managers directly.Get Your Network Tight: Property managers, realtors, contractors—they’ll drop the best leads.3️⃣ What Makes a Good Deal:Cash Flow Positive from Day 1.Below Market Value (usually needs rehab).Upside Potential: Think rent increases, better management, or refinancing options.4️⃣ How to Become the Better/Best:Study the Market Like a Hawk.

I would be leery investing in a cash negative property with the only profit source being appreciation.Good luck

@Jaycee Greene I want to house hack for my first property whether that be SF or Multi Family, there is not too many options where I am for multi family though unfortunately. 

It’s one of the lower priced options and as such does not have an app.
