Extra income by renting and the benefits of appreciation.

So, no extra cost to you for doing that in essence.

My opinion-- buy in the winter, underwrite with an extra long vacancy, get some seller concessions to defeat the cash flow if it's really that tight.

I know it seems like a tough task, but can you spend a few more months or a year while you continue to learn to really tighten the budget or find ways to earn a little extra to start from a stronger position?

If multifamily options seem scarce, consider house hacking single-family homes with extra rooms or an ADU for cash flow.

After today’s experience with the extra “PM” fee tacked onto the already extremely high placement fee, I felt I had to say something.

And if you want an extra layer of confidence, find an investor-friendly real estate attorney or a knowledgeable friend who can help dissect the operating agreement.

Builders do this a lot to add extra potential sleeping area without having more bedrooms than septic is rated for.I have seen people put beds in the loft after closing or even close in this area to make an unofficial bedroom.Just be clear in your pictures and description and you should be fine either way.

Property Owner, you have an extra 1000 square feet with enough setback to add a 500 sqft ADU on this lot.

Now, with the ADU rules, developers are buying anything close with some extra space so there may only be scraps left that wouldn't pass FHA or would price you out.
