Greg, the things I'm looking for as clues to a bottom:1.

Great to see you getting into the Southeast rental market.Wishing you the best of luck.

Seller financing can be a fantastic way to get into a 4+ unit property, especially in a competitive market like Chicago.Have you started reaching out to owners directly or networking with agents who specialize in multifamily properties?

If you are looking at multifamily in Kansas City, I can help with that. 

Hey @Ricky HernandezGreat question, and it’s awesome to see you thinking ahead about the potential for turning your new-build home into a rental.

This is the best way to get into home ownership and real estate investing in my opinion.

A 2 +1 is a legal 2-family with a boarder unit that can be lived in by the owner, usually without a stove and you want to make sure the bathroom is permitted.I hope that helps.

Quick tips:1st - you do not need income to get financing.

Look into crime maps, and do the old fashioned thing of getting in a car and driving the market if it's not in your back yard.

With 20 years experience managing my sfr and as a property manager for a broker and a bank, this switch into ABNB has been a learning experience.
