The SST doesn't apply for legal 2-flats so if you want to use FHA it's probably better to target those that maybe also have a non-conforming basement or attic unit.This is why the 5% down conventional loan is a game changer for house hackers.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

You might not cash flow right away, but even just offsetting what you were paying in rent while building equity, getting tax benefits, and learning how to be a landlord is a game changer.

Quote from @Mike Calvey: Hey Bobby - Have you tried contacting an agent in that area through the Find An Agent feature with BiggerPockets? 

This feature is again free unlike other platforms that usually charge per user.

Hi Yael, I am a featured agent from Bigger Pockets in the QC market and can assist with all of your questions.

In the meantime, most of my capital is tied up and I am looking to be Super creative and I have absolutely the time and energy to cold call until i find someone that is game...even if i got to get a property in Alaska.

They always ask me who are the ****** builders and at first I did not know how to respond, because even the economy builder here are building quality that lasts (just fewer features).

She will probably game the system for the next 6-12 months, but that's what you get buying a property with a non-paying tenant in place, in an anti-landlord city. 

Hi Nida,I'm a bit late to the party but better late than never I guess lolIn the search bar here on Bigger Pockets or even a Google research will reveal a lot of info about certain companies.I'd always like to joke around and say that "Google is your best friend" when looking to work with someone new lolI'd like to second Jason's comment who has been around the turnkey game for a long time and has probably conducted due diligence on many if not all turnkey providers over the years.Not many have stood the test of time and I'm proud to say that we have.Not intending to plug my company as we have many battle scars that started from day 1.But still here and still battling away 🤓Why we survived and thrived unlike many others was keeping our operation small and boutique and only doing deals on our terms.Low volume sales and thorough investor pre-qualification (As not everyone that has a pulse is necessarily a good fit for what we can provide).Some investors did better than others but one thing I can happily say is that we always did our best for all.I believe a very important component to any "true" turnkey company is that the penny ultimately drops must drop with them.Meaning, if you invest and things don't go the way as planned it is entirely up to them to rectify.No finger pointing or passing on the monkey to someone else (Like a realtor, contractor or PM).A true turnkey company stands behind it's properties, rehabs and in-house property management.Key phrase here is "in-house property management".Everything must be under the same roof and the provider must take all responsibility for the outcome of that investment.Wishing you much success
