I built that 3 years ago now and it blends right in and its hard to tell its a new build.. 

In order to accomplish that, we have a blended portfolio of an Oakland duplex that appreciates but doesn't cashflow, a SFH that appreciates (and wouldn't cashflow if we moved), and a low-income apartment complex in South Chicago that cashflows (15-25% cash on cash return if you do or don't factor in the debt service being paid down) that is unlikely to appreciate more than 1% YOY.

And if you are unable to qualify on your own, you can ask a related person (be sure to check with your MLO) to co-sign with you as a non-occupant borrower, if they are willing, able, and can combine your blended income and debts to help you qualify. 

(i.e. a larger price with seller financing, a lower price with private money, something in the middle that blends the two).

It is a personal decision and strategy blended with psychology / attitude is important.

That way they blend the portfolio overall return higher over time but still stay passive.

The exterior cladding/panels are a proprietary blend of bio ceramic/ mag ox.

Well, after we closed and brought our rehab team in, they discovered a small door in the back of the property (covered with siding, so it blends in). 

First, I would like to tell you a little bit about our goals, our  situations, and how we blend them to make the team that we currently have.Let me start by giving you the make-up of our team so far.
