I’d like to have someone review the property and help identify specific areas that may need to be brought up to standard before I proceed with landlord registration for the program.Additionally, I’d welcome any advice, suggestions, or insights from those with experience in this process.

On Page 134, he lists the following when analyzing a deal:Sales Price: $132,490.00Sales Expenses: $17,000.00Loan Balance: $55,004.72Total Invested Capital: $35,950.00Profit: $24,535.28I agree with his thought process here when he calculates net profit, but I'm trying to verify the net profit by adding up all the sources of income over the past five years in his example by doing the following:Appreciation over five years=$12,490 (see chart on Page 133).Cash flow ($297.73x12x5)=$17,863.80 over five years.Loan paydown: ($60,000-55,004.72)=$4,995.28 over five years.Sales Expenses are still $17,000.Doing the math, profit= $12,490+$17,863.80+$4,995.28-$17,000=$18,349.08There is a $6,186.20 difference from the net profit he calculates.My question is: Is this $6,186.20 difference due to the forced appreciation gained in the property from the rehab he does in this example?

I’m currently in the pre-approval process to purchase a 2-4 unit multi-family property.

Has anyone here being successful at it?

I concur with Robin's comment about the DSCR loan, but it can be an intimidating process.

With C or below you probably can't avoid some of it so I'd go with a recency bias, ie anyone who has a long period of time between their last eviction and successful rentals other places will be a safer bet than the guy that just got evicted. 

You could pay them a flat interest rate on the funds they contribute, similar to a private lender, or offer a percentage of the profits to align their success with yours.

Quote from @James Wise: Quote from @Imdad Rahman: I've come across some online courses, particularly those by individuals like Tom Cruz and Section8Karim, who claim to provide valuable insights and strategies for successful Section 8 investing.

@Deal H.with a successful BRRRR there isn't much, or any, cash flow either. 

The truth is, the odds of being successfully sued for more than your insurance will cover is ridiculously low.
