I think a post on unique ways to obtain PML would be beneficial!

Maybe my experience is unique- maybe not.

Plus, living in the property gives you the unique advantage of understanding it inside and out.. making you a better landlord when you eventually rent out all the units.If I were you, I’d prioritize properties with room for rent increases or small upgrades that could boost value.

They used to be marketed with all of the other homes on the main search page, but a user had to go into the filters and specifically select the "FSBO & Other" tab.

I’m curious if the process in NYC is similarly structured, where it’s difficult but feasible to follow through, or if there are unique barriers that make it much harder or even impractical.If anyone has insights or could answer a few questions, I’d really appreciate it!

In my experience, finding deals with strong potential for cash flow, often means digging deeper into off-market opportunities or unique property types that traditional models overlook.

Congrats on being a unique offering for the area. 

.- My Resources / Constraints: I'm in a by no means unique, but perhaps less common situation for those getting started; I'm a somewhat senior software engineer at a tech megacorp and should be able to save a couple of down payments per year for lower priced houses (100-200 in my area), or perhaps one medium priced house (300-500).

But don't worry, the CA government has come up with a new and unique approach to this.
