There are new laws being implememented in some states as well.Hey Ken, I agree with you on people doing business the wrong way, just like in the creative side with people not properly disclosing how liable the seller is in a sub-to transaction.There are indeed people promoting a property instead of the contract, which they do not have the right to do so.

So far looks like only premium accounts are promoted and there is no way to see all the agents in the area.

You'll likely get a lot of people in the forums promoting mid-west, OH, and the south.

@Natalie Vane I am a HUGE promoter of house hackingBut you're married, want kids eventually, and want to do all this living with roommates?

and any contact info.I'm not allowed to self-promote here.

Unfortunately, I have quickly realized the mortgage is much too steep a payment to promote a net positive cashflow even with all rooms rented.

Thankfully I have friends and family that have done well, so I think I can pull out a sizeable fund $500K+) without going the syndication route, but I appreciate the comment.Syndicators usually get what in slang is called “promote”.  

You have considerably less wall space, and trying to fill furniture into that one big space is often awkward resulting in a lot of wasted space that does not really do anything.And while these open floorplans are often promoted as "family friendly" I have come to the conclusion that they are a double edged sword in that respect.

Super higher leverage that the purchase can't be approved by agency loan.In all practicallity , the era of 2016-2020 by aggregate should only produce 7-8% IRR if one correctly and conservatively.They targeted the naives investor in biggerpocket that lacks basic real estate valuation.The real problem is really the era of 2015-2020 where folks are treating CRE just like OTCBB pink stock and promoting it as a safe haven.

Please no promotions.
